S – I establish my covenant with you that never again will every creature be wiped out by floodwaters; there will never again be a flood to destroy the earth.”

Genesis 9:11 CSB

O –  God initiates a covenant with man to never destroy all creatures of the earth by flooding the earth again.

A – God initiated the covenant.  He knew that man would do things that would be evil, immoral and corrupt.  He knew the wickedness of man’s heart and actions and that his perfection in truth and morality would always be in conflict.  The rainbow is a reminder to both of God’s grace.  

R – Heavenly Father, you are all knowing and always present.  We do not deserve your grace or mercy.  Yet, you give  both to us in our time of sin and need.  Thank you for loving us so much that we receive both in our brokenness.
