a promise

It was raining when I woke up this morning.  I hate rainy days.  They make me want to stay in the bed and sleep until the sun comes out!  However, while driving to work this morning, I drove through the clouds and into the sun.  There was the most glorious rainbow right in front of me...it was absolutely beautiful!  Tired as I was, it revived me for the day ahead.  Whenever I see a rainbow, I think of Noah and how renewed his soul must have been in the Lord when the flood subsided and God delivered him and his family from the ark.  What a glorioius event and promise! 

"While the earth remains,


Seedtime and harvest,


Cold and heat,


Winter and summer,


And day and night


Shall not cease."


Genesis 8:22


May we remember the promise of our Covenant God and remain faithful to Him!  Praise Him for a rainbow this morning!
