Genesis 8:7-12 states "and he sent out a raven. It went back and forth, until the waters were dried up from the earth. He sent out a dove from him, to see if the waters were abated from the surface of the ground, but the dove found no place to rest her foot, and she returned to him into the ship; for the waters were on the surface of the whole earth. He put out his hand, and took her, and brought her to him into the ship. He stayed yet another seven days; and again he sent the dove out of the ship. The dove came back to him at evening, and, behold, in her mouth was an olive leaf plucked off. So Noah knew that the waters were abated from the earth. He stayed yet another seven days, and sent out the dove; and she didn't return to him any more.".
But, everyone should know the meaning of the passage and not to panic. The message is about hope and new beginning. There won't be another flood. Hence, there will be a rainbow and sunshine after the flood subsides.
Let's continue to pray for our safety and for the safety of our countrymen. Tomorrow will be a bright day!
