Rainbows

“Can you fathom the mysteries of God?
    Can you probe the limits of the Almighty?

They are higher than the heavens above—what can you do?
    They are deeper than the depths below—what can you know?

Their measure is longer than the earth
    and wider than the sea.

Job 11:7-9

Whenever I see a rainbow in the sky I am reminded of God's promise to each of us.  There are so many things that are a mystery in this world but to me the rainbow is not one of them.  It is a promise, a covenant, that God gave to each of us.  It tells me that no matter what trial comes my way, He will be right there with me, fighting the battle and carrying me each step of the way.  We serve an awesome God!

Take The World, But Give Me Jesus

by Fanny Crosby, 1879

Take the world, but give me Jesus,

All its joys are but a name;

But His love abideth ever,

Through eternal years the same.

Oh, the height and depth of mercy!

Oh, the length and breadth of love!

Oh, the fullness of redemption,

Pledge of endless life above!
