Didn't God use rain to eradicate everything living in the world save for a boat with one guy's family and a bunch of animals?

This is true. But the difficulty with Biblical symbolism is that it often means more than one thing. That is ONE instance of rain as judgment, but there are so many more instances where rain is blessing.

Rain is far more frequently a sign of blessing, but not in the way that Graham is using it here. It's not a blessing on an individual or for anything that an individual does. It's called common grace--God gives rain to everyone, good or bad, so we can live and eat.
