Dark clouds race across the sky bringing thunder and lightning and torrential rain. The earth shakes with the force of the storm.

Then, almost in the blink of an eye, it is over.  The sun comes out, lighting up the sky so that it seems to glow.  This is the time when you may see a rainbow.

To me rainbows are magic.  In reality a rainbow is a bending of light when it hits the moisture in the atmosphere.  It is a glorious arc of red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet bands.

When I see a rainbow, I think of Noah. The rainbow is the symbol of God’s covenant with Noah.  It is a sign of God’s promise that He will always be there for us.

When we go through the storms of life, we may feel that we are drowning.  We can rely on ourselves alone and be filled with fear or we can rely on the Lord and be filled with a sense of peace, knowing that we will see a rainbow once the storm passes.

The promise of a rainbow is a sacred gift.  I wish you countless sacred gifts.
