Symbols can be powerful, they can evoke love or hate, assurance or fear. They can be put to righteous purposes, or evil ones. In Genesis 9 God chooses to make a covenant with Noah and promises that no other cataclysmic flood like the one that had just ended will occur in the future. In doing so, God begins a pattern of making covenant with humanity, offering promises to help us navigate this life in connection with him. God also offers a sign of the covenant, the rainbow, a fitting reminder that one can only see a rainbow when the sun is shining in the midst of a storm.
