Water Used in Two Different Ways

[S] Genesis 9:13-15 --

 ¹³I set My bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a sign of a covenant between Me and the earth.
 ¹⁴"It shall come about, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the bow will be seen in the cloud,
 ¹⁵and I will remember My covenant, which is between Me and you and every living creature of all flesh; and never again shall the water become a flood to destroy all flesh.

[O] I was bad at chemistry in high school but this morning, I got into the mood of chemistry as I was reading this passage because God referred to H₂O for the flood as well as the rainbow.  The flood part is easy because it was the water that flooded the earth, but if you think about the rainbow it's the water molecules in the cloud that is reflecting the light.  In both instances the H₂O covered the earth but in the former case, the water contained the "sin" of this world as it was washing it away.  It did not reflect any part of God other than His wrath.  In the latter case, when the cloud covered the earth (v. 14) God's light reflected into beautiful rainbow colors and thus it signified His covenant with us.  When only our images are reflected, it leads to destruction.  When God's image is reflected, it leads to a beautiful covenant with Him.

[A] Be one of the water molecules that reflect God's beautiful spectrum of light.

[P] Dear God, use me as one of the water molecules to reflect the rainbow to the people around me.  Make Your covenant known to those around my life.  In Jesus' name.  Amen.
