Green Verses: Genesis 9:8-10, 13

A series which seeks to highlight scriptures that point to God as the Creator, His sovereignty over the earth, His redemption of the earth, and our call to participate in that redemption. Take a moment and reflect on what God might be saying through His Word.

Genesis 9:8-10, 13

 Then God said to Noah and to his sons with him, “As for me, I am establishing my covenant with you and your descendants after you, and with every living creature that is with you, the birds, the domestic animals, and every animal of the earth with you, as many as came out of the ark…. I have set my bow in the clouds, and it shall be a sign of the covenant between me and the earth.”

I always find it so fascinating to read this chapter where 6 times God makes his covenant not just with mankind but with other living creatures and the earth. It is so interesting to see His deep care for His creation. He not only cares for creation but establishes a covenant with it. Unbelievable. If our God and Father is committed to His creation so faithfully, how should we respond?
