The Covenant

I can't ever see a rainbow without thinking of God's covenant with Noah. "....Whenever I bring clouds over the earth and the rainbow appears in the clouds, I will remember my covenant between me and you and all living creatures of every kind. Never again will the waters become a flood to destroy all life...." (Genesis 9) Image taken: Aug 2019
