Glory in Him: The Rainbow

The Rainbow

The other day as we were having dinner Mom said, "Look at the rainbow." I turned out my sliding door and what do I see, I beautiful rainbow. I ran and got my camera and went outside to take a picture of it (as Angie would say - "for your blog!"). When I stepped outside I was taken back by such beauty. I was able to see the rainbow from one end to the other. It was an odd, yet wonderful sight. There was dark clouds on one spot, blue skies on the other, the sun shining through and a slight drizzle. In the middle of all this here is this beautiful rainbow gracing the skies. Imagine, the God that we serve is able to create all of this contrast from nothing. He is able to make these beautiful colors shine through the sky with a stroke of His finger. O what mighty God we serve. Yes, I stood there taking these picture in awe and adoration, praising My Jesus. As I stood there my eyes saw another rainbow form-wow! As you see these pictures, may they cause you to sit in wonder of Our God who "spoke" and created all things - big and small.

Revelation 4:3 - And He who sat there was like a jasper and a sardius stone in appearance; and there was a rainbow around the throne, in appearance like an emerald.

It’s sometimes very difficult for us to understand the wisdom and the love behind the things that God has planned.

But we wouldn’t have the rainbow if we didn’t have the rain; We wouldn’t know the pleasure if we never tasted pain.

We wouldn’t love the sunrise if we hadn’t felt the night; And we wouldn’t know our weakness if we hadn’t sensed God’s might.

We couldn’t have the springtime or the yellow daffodil if we hadn’t experienced the winter’s frosty chill.

And though the brilliant sunshine is something God has made. He knew too much could parch our souls so He created shade.

So God’s given us a balance: enough joys to keep us glad, enough tears to keep us humble, enough good to balance bad.

And if you’ll trust in Him you’ll see though yesterday brought sorrow, the clouds will part and dawn will bring a happier tomorrow.

"THE MOST BEAUTIFUL RAINBOW"
As we grow up, we learn that even the one person that wasn't supposed to ever let you down probably will. You will have your heart broken probably more than once and it's harder every time. You'll break hearts too, so remember how it felt when yours was broken. You'll fight with your best friend. You'll blame a new love for things an old one did. You'll cry because time is passing too fast, and you'll eventually lose someone you love. So take too many pictures, laugh too much, and love like you've never been hurt because every sixty seconds you spend upset is a minute of happiness you'll never get back. Don't be afraid that your life will end, be afraid that it will never begin.
