NIV Once-A-Day BibleSample

Genesis 9:8 – 17 People who are true to their word can be trusted. If they aren’t true to their word, they can’t be trusted. It’s as simple as that. God promised that he would never destroy the earth with a flood again, and then he set a rainbow in the sky as a sign of his promise. For thousands of years, God has been true to his word. We sometimes get discouraged during the tough times in life because we tend to focus on our particular circumstances rather than the promises of God. In such times, we need to remember the rainbow. Every time we see one, we are reminded that God is trustworthy. He is always true to what he has said.
