Throughout history, God has been making promises. There are over 7,000 promises in the Bible. It tells about a terrible flood that occurred on earth many centuries ago. It’s not just in the Bible, almost all civilizations having a preserved written ancient history refer to this great flood. After the fatal flood, God made a promise to Noah and his descendants that He would never again destroy the …world with a flood. Whenever you see a rainbow, you should be reminded of God’s promises because He said, “I have placed My rainbow in the clouds. It is a sign of My permanent promise to you and to all the earth.” (Genesis 9:13) As you and I move into 2013 let’s do it looking forward to the promises of God. HAPPY NEW YEAR!
