A colorful promise.

the rainbow.

A band of colors against a gloom background as sunlight sips though the clouds.

As i was driving home today, there was a big fainted rainbow ahead the highway. It made me smile instantly. Such a simple delight can lifts the mood bringing joy to the soul. I was so sure that everyone else on the road was looking at the rainbow as they drove on straight with a sense of awe and peace covering them.

When you look at rainbows you just know, there must be a God. A God who loves His people. I love love love being around nature. The trees and grass and skies. They just bring you closer to our Creator. "Nature is and will always be the great teacher for the soul " said Ruskin. How true is that.

Rainbow reminds us of God's promise that He would not swipe out mankind again as He did with the flood saving Noah and His family. It paints the picture of His love towards us, His grace and beauty. A faint light glimmer of heaven on earths skies.

God said to Noah and his sons:

9 I am going to make a solemn promise to you and to everyone who will live after you. 10 This includes the birds and the animals that came out of the boat. 11 I promise every living creature that the earth and those living on it will never again be destroyed by a flood.
12-13 The rainbow that I have put in the sky will be my sign to you and to every living creature on earth. It will remind you that I will keep this promise forever.14 When I send clouds over the earth, and a rainbow appears in the sky, 15 I will remember my promise to you and to all other living creatures. Never again will I let floodwaters destroy all life. 16 When I see the rainbow in the sky, I will always remember the promise that I have made to every living creature. 17 The rainbow will be the sign of that solemn promise.

- Genesis 9:9-17
