a rainbow is hung directly in view.
And there is this realization: The beauty of it isn’t just a pretty reminder of God’s promises. It is the physical outworking of them. The sun shining brightly at the point of the storm: that is when He planned to paint the sky with His colors.
His reminder is tangible : His promises are good, even when the darkest clouds are hanging over head. And often I see Him best, just then. Hues of His faithfulness, His mercy and grace, His love ; all ablaze in the sky, when I need to seem them the very most.
It’s that moment when His covenant with me is fresh and renewed in my heart- completely sufficient for the days ahead.
He’s reminding me:
All things work together for good. Romans 8:28
He will never leave me or forsake me. Deuteronomy 31:6
He will finish the work He’s begun.Philippians 1:6
There is hope alone in Him. Psalm 31:24
I am cherished. 1John 4:19
I am forgiven. Ephesians 1:7
I am His daughter. Galatians 3:26
It’s that moment when it all breaks through from my mind to my heart, and I become thankful. Thankful for a Heavenly Father who is a promise keeping God, who is still on His throne and takes pleasure in surprising me with these moments… moments of love and grace.
amen.
