The Encouragment of a Rainbow

   Yesterday morning I opened my blinds in my room and I was delighted to see a beautiful, rainbow streaking the sky. When I told my mom and brother they rushed to the window. "Look, it's a double rainbow!" said my brother. Sure enough a lighter more faded rainbow sat right above it, though it faded quickly.) I love rainbows! My parents had a double rainbow on their wedding day and I had one on my thirteenth birthday. I always am reminded of God's promise never to flood the earth again....and all of his other promises to us. The rainbow has a wonderful representation and I think God paints one (or two!) up there every now and then to make people's days a whole lot brighter! So next time you see and rainbow, remember God always keeps His promises and it's His way to tell you everything is going to be alright.

Genesis 9:8-16

Then God said to Noah and to his sons with him, “Behold, I establish my covenant with you and your offspring after you, and with every living creature that is with you, the birds, the livestock, and every beast of the earth with you, as many as came out of the ark; it is for every beast of the earth. I establish my covenant with you, that never again shall all flesh be cut off by the waters of the flood, and never again shall there be a flood to destroy the earth.” And God said, “This is the sign of the covenant that I make between me and you and every living creature that is with you, for all future generations: ...

Ezekiel 1:28

Like the appearance of the bow that is in the cloud on the day of rain, so was the appearance of the brightness all around. Such was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the Lord. And when I saw it, I fell on my face, and I heard the voice of one speaking.

This  Bible verse always reminds me of  the rain at night and the rainbow in the morning. 

Though sorrow may last through the night, joy comes in the morning. Psalm 30:5

If you look hard, you can see the light rainbow above.
