The Rainbow in the Cloud
Genesis 9:13
I am putting my rainbow in the clouds. It is the sign of the agreement
between me and the earth.
It is the will of God that human beings should get into moral
relationship with Him, and His covenants are for this purpose. Why
does not God save me? He has saved me, but I have not entered into
relationship with Him. Why does not God do this and that? He has done
it, the point is-Will I step into covenant relationship? All the great
blessings of God are finished and complete, but they are not mine
until I enter into relationship with Him on the basis of His covenant.
Waiting for God is incarnate unbelief, it means that I have no faith
in Him; I wait for Him to do something in me that I may trust in that.
God will not do it, because that is not the basis of the God-and-man
relationship. Man has to go out of himself in his covenant with God as
God goes out of Himself in His covenant with man. It is a question of
faith in God-the rarest thing; we have faith only in our feelings. I
do not believe God unless He will give me something in my hand whereby
I may know I have it, then I say-"Now I believe." There is no faith
there. "Look unto Me, and be ye saved."
When I have really transacted business with God on His covenant and
have let go entirely, there is no sense of merit, no human ingredient
in it at all, but a complete overwhelming sense of being brought into
union with God, and the whole thing is transfigured with peace and
joy.

I number of years ago there appeared in the New Yorker magazine an
account of a Long Island resident who ordered an extremely sensitive
barometer from a respected company, Abercrombie and Fitch. When the
instrument arrived at his home he was disappointed to discover that
the indicating needle appeared to be stuck pointing to the sector
marked "Hurricane." After shaking the barometer vigorously several
times-never a good idea with a sensitive mechanism-and never getting
the point to move, the new owner wrote a scathing letter to the store,
and, on the following morning, on the way to his office in New York
City, mailed it. That evening he returned to Long Island to find not
only the barometer missing but his house as well! The needle of the
instrument had been pointed correctly. The month was September, the
year was 1938, the day of the terrible hurricane that almost leveled
Long Island.
