Yes, there is strong Biblical basis for the devotion. The devotion faithfully expounds Isaiah 54:9–10 as the primary text, supported by Genesis 9:12–17, Psalm 34:18, Lamentations 3:22–23, 2 Corinthians 1:20, and Romans 5:5. All references are accurate, contextually sound, and theologically robust.
“…as I swore that the waters of Noah should no more go over the earth…” (Isaiah 54:9–10)
Isaiah 54:9–10 (ESV)
“This is like the days of Noah to me: as I swore that the waters of Noah should no more go over the earth, so I
have sworn that I will not be angry with you… my steadfast love shall not depart from you…”
Verdict: Perfectly accurate. The devotion rightly presents God’s post-flood oath as the prototype of His irrevocable covenant mercy toward His people.
“I have set my bow in the cloud… the waters shall never again become a flood…” (Genesis 9:12–17)

covenant…”
