Show Don't Tell: Genesis 9:1-17

Instead of saying "God made a covenant with Noah and gave the rainbow as a sign," paint the sky. God blesses Noah like he blessed Adam—be fruitful, multiply, fill the earth. But something has changed. Animals will now fear humans. Meat is permitted. New rules for a new world. And then the covenant—not earned, not negotiated, simply given. "Never again will all life be destroyed by flood." Feel the weight of that promise in a world still damp with judgment. "I have set my rainbow in the clouds." Watch the first one arc across the sky—colors Noah has never seen arranged like this, light bending through water vapor into a bridge between heaven and earth. Every time storm clouds gather, every time rain falls, look up: God is remembering his promise. The bow in the sky is aimed at heaven, not earth.
