Jehovah Nissi, You are the banner over us. You are the God of eternal covenant. You are trustworthy and true, faithful and just. There is no other like You, who goes out for the salvation of His beloved. I come, remembering Your promise to us that there will never be another flood to destroy all flesh. Thank You for writing a reminder across the sky that You are ever mindful of the covenant between You and all creatures on earth. I bring my gratitude in the name and authority of Jesus that You are who You say, and You do what You promise, according to Your good and perfect will. Amen.
“And God said: ‘This is the sign of the covenant which I make between Me and you, and every living creature that is with you, for perpetual generations: I set My rainbow in the cloud, and it shall be for the sign of the covenant between Me and the earth. It shall be, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the rainbow shall be seen in the cloud; and I will remember My covenant which is between Me and you and every living creature of all flesh; the waters shall never again become a flood to destroy all flesh. The rainbow shall be in the cloud, and I will look on it to remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is on the earth.’ And God said to Noah, ‘This is the sign of the covenant which I have established between Me and all flesh that is on the earth.’” (Genesis 9: 12-17 NKJV)
