Gen. 8: 22 gives us something to shout about.    Man can never fully understand his potential to affect , to change the mind and heart of God.
This text tells us that after God delivered Noah from the flood, Noah offered such an honorable, sincere  beautiful and adoring sacrifice to God that it got God beside Himself with ecstasy.  God started thinking and talking to Himself.  He was so pleased and intoxicated with Noah’s sacrifice of praise and worship that it caused God to  utter a promise to Noah and the whole universe.
It caused God to bless man, bless the universe to the extent that even man’s frailty could not stop the blessing.
It caused God to be sympathetic and empathetic with mankind’s sinful being.  It caused God to do what no one else was able to do.  It caused God to reveal Himself almost incidentally, almost as if were, to “show His weakness” toward humanity.
Would to God that the sacrifices of our lips, our hearts, our lives, our offerings be so pleasing to Him that He  would just shower us with blessings and promises that flow to us even in spite of  our Adamic nature.

God is the author of Covenants. Covenants can be conditional and unconditional.  They can be unilateral and bilateral.  We have to decipher the differences in order to come into covenantal blessings.  There are legal, social and relational.  While these three exists, He is primarily interested in relational covenants.  That is because He is most interested in having relationships with His people.
Stay tune as we learn about the various covenants beginning with Noah- Noah the Renaissance Man.  The man, the covenant of New Beginnings.
