The Rainbow

I have set my rainbow in the clouds, and it will be the sign of the covenant between me and the earth...  Whenever the rainbow appears in the clouds, I will see it and remember the everlasting covenant between God and all living creatures of every kind on the earth.

Genesis 9:13, 16

These scriptures are two that hold a very special meaning to me.  I was at a point in my life that I felt what was the use, that no matter how hard I tried it did no good so I ran away from home.  Did you notice how many times I said "I" in that sentence.  "I" was trying to do everything on my own without calling on God for His guidance, His direction down the path He wanted me to travel.  So one day as I was driving north God gave me not one but two rainbows.  Not only did He give me two rainbows but He let me drive through the end of one of them.  As my car went through the end of the rainbow it was filled with all these vibrant colors and I felt God asking me to place my trust in Him and everything would be okay.  It took me a while to let go of the hurt, the anger and to give it all to God but I did.  My life since has not been a bed of roses but I know that with God in control that no matter what comes my way that as long as I have faith and trust Him that everything will be okay.

So when you feel at your lowest just think of the rainbow and let God renew your weary spirit and fill you with the freshest of each new day.

Father God keep my eyes on Your rainbow...

God Put A Rainbow In the Cloud
by Reverend Andrew Jenkins and Irene Spain

When God shut Noah in the grand old ark
He put a rainbow in the cloud
When thunders rolled and the sky was dark
God put a rainbow in the cloud.

God put a rainbow in the cloud
God put a rainbow in the cloud
When it looked like the sun wouldn't shine anymore
God put a rainbow in the cloud.

Away down yonder in Egypt's sand
God put a rainbow in the cloud
Just to lead His children to the promised land
God put a rainbow in the cloud.

When they put old Daniel in the lion's den,
God put a rainbow in the cloud
Just to prove His promise to the sons of men
God put a rainbow in the cloud.

As a sign by day and a sign by night
Bod put a rainbow in the cloud
Just to guide His people and keep them right
God put a rainbow in the cloud.

Oh, Jordan deep and Jordan wide
God put a rainbow in the cloud
To lead his people to the other side
God put a rainbow in the cloud.
