The last time I saw a rainbow was right before I was accepted to seminary at LPTS. That was until yesterday.
The skies had gotten black and thunder roared in the skies. There were flashes of lightening and the rain came down hard. My husband looked out the window worried. What if one of the trees were to fall on our car? But what could we do but wait and watch?
Nothing happened to our car. A tree did fall in front of a neighbor's apartment pulling out the railing but no one was hurt. Surveying the wreckage from the storm, trees had been uprooted, garbage cans lay in the middle of the road, and part of the city was without power. But in the distance a rainbow painted the sky. It was beautiful.
In the Bible, God used the rainbow as a covenant with Noah. I can't say that this rainbow was a reminder of this covenant in the strictest sense. Instead it reminded me that you can't have a rainbow without weathering a rainstorm first. Challenges may still be ahead but God has something beautiful in store - a rainbow.
