Last Saturday the Lord blessed us to see a most magnificent creation:
I know that a rainbow is not a "miracle" but because they are so rare to see, when I do see one, I smile. Not just because it's beautiful, but because I know why it's there. God made a promise to Noah and that reminder has lasted thousands of years! (Gen 9:11-17) Can you imagine what Noah thought about seeing a rainbow? He'd just gotten used to the idea of rain and then THIS--a promise by our Creator that what he'd just suffered would never happen again. Ah....what relief that must have been every time he saw one.
The rainbow is a promise that the Earth would not be destroyed by water again, but it reminds me of another promise God has made to us. He gave us Jesus and promised us that through the blood of Christ we are saved from our sins. Through baptism we come into contact with that blood and are given remission of sins. And as long as we are obedient to His Word and live faithful lives, we will not be destroyed when Christ comes again!
Heb 10:1-25; Mark 16:15-16; Rev 2:10
What a promise! What a God! What a blessing!

When mom was in the hospital I was on my way home from Birmingham one day, completely downtrodden from all of the strain. And there it was - a simple, beautiful rainbow. Rainbows have NEVER looked the same to me since.
**I actually posted a couple of months ago about rainbows.
Love you girl ~
