“And the bow shall be in the cloud; and I will look upon it, that I may remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is upon the earth. And God said unto Noah, This is the token of the covenant, which I have established between me and all flesh that is upon the earth.”
There is an old question that people ask and it goes like this:
“Can God do anything?”
Most people would say “Yes” in answer to this question.
“Well then, can God create a rock that is too big for Him to lift?”
Now there is a paradox! The answer to the first question is “No, God cannot be inconsistent.” This means that the second question can be reworded as “Can God be inconsistent?” Well the proper answer to the first question precludes the second question. The section of the Bible (Gen 9: 16, 17) above talks about God being consistent. When God sees a rainbow today He knows that He is consistent and He is reminding us that He is consistent as well. However, we have to remember that He is consistent as well. He said, “suppose ye that I am come to give peace on earth? I tell you, Nay; but rather division: For from henceforth there shall be five in one house divided, three against two, and two against three. The father shall be divided against the son, and the son against the father; the mother against the daughter, and the daughter against the mother; the mother in law against her daughter in law, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.” (Luke 12: 51-53) When we follow the Lord Jesus Christ as our Saviour we follow His footsteps and not necessarily fame and fortune.
