“And it shall come to pass, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the bow shall be seen in the cloud” (Gen 9:14).
The sight of the dark, formidable clouds rising in the sky is compensated by the lovely entrancing beauty of the 7 – coloured rainbow. It is when dark clouds gather in the sky that we can view the beautiful rainbow. There is a great Spiritual truth in this. Only when we face clouds of trials & difficulties can our lives manifest beauty in this world.
It is your trials both you and others can see how true you are to the covenants you have made with GOD. It is in your trials that you prove your mettle, and show who your GOD is. It is then that you show to the world the covenant-keeping nature of GOD.
Look at Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego whom King Nebuchadnezzar put into the furnace. Till then Nebuchadnezzar could not understand or see their GOD. But when they were put into the fire, he could see the Son of GOD walking with them. Yes, only in the fiery trail could they manifest to the pagan king and to his kingdom that there was a living GOD walking with them. Everyone could see their covenant with their GOD. If they had relented, they would have failed their GOD miserably.
Dear child of GOD, are you showing your GOD to the world in your fiery trails? Are you showing others the covenant between you and your GOD? Are they able to see in your life GOD’s faithfulness in keeping HIS covenant?
