Rainbows

Genesis 9:17 God said to Noah, “This is the sign of the covenant that I have established between me and all flesh that is on the earth.”

I was thinking about the rainbow that God created as a perpetual sign to mankind (and all the animals!) of His promise.  As I thought about the beauty of that rainbow that enamors us every time a rainbow appears, I started thinking about how each color in the rainbow carries some special significance to me concerning me relationship with God:

Red reminds me of LOVE … God’s love for me that has no limitation;

Orange reminds me of JOY … God promises everlasting joy to me as I follow Him now and in eternity;

Yellow reminds me of GOD HIMSELF … the center of the colors and the source and center of all life;

Green reminds me of GROWTH … my spiritual growth promised to me if I continue to follow and obey God;

Blue reminds me of PEACE … the peace that passes all understanding;

Purple reminds me of ROYALTY … God is King of Kings and I am part of the “royal priesthood” of believers.

I think that from now on when I see a rainbow it is going to have an even stronger effect on me!
