COVENANT MERCY

READ

Genesis 8:20–9:17; Isaiah 54:9–17

A rainbow above a stone altar and sunlit valley after the storm.

After leaving the ark Noah built an altar. God established a covenant and gave the rainbow as its sign.

1

Follow responses: Noah's first action, then God's words/actions; trace rescue, worship, covenant.

2

Identify covenant language: who establishes it, who is included, what is promised, what sign is given?

3

Compare Isaiah's use of the covenant; what remains stable when circumstances do not?

CARRY IT WITH YOU

The rainbow points first to God's promise, not merely Noah's experience.

How does remembering God's character change how you face uncertainty?
