Many years ago, one of our members (Samantha Swapp) sent me the lower picture taken after immediately after a storm.  I loved the rainbow.  I also love the fact that the church building itself is in full sun.

The picture at the top is an artificially enhanced picture with the cars removed.  

Remember what a rainbow signifies.  It is a promise from God.  Others (primarily the LGBTQ community) use the rainbow for other purposes.  As Jesus People we need to remember the meaning given by God in Genesis 9:12-16:

And God said, “This is the sign of the covenant I am making between me and you and every living creature with you, a covenant for all generations to come: I have set my rainbow in the clouds, and it will be the sign of the covenant between me and the earth. Whenever I bring clouds over the earth and the rainbow appears in the clouds, I will remember my covenant between me and you and all living creatures of every kind. Never again will the waters become a flood to destroy all life. Whenever the rainbow appears in the clouds, I will see it and remember the everlasting covenant between God and all living creatures of every kind on the earth.”

So when you see a rainbow, thank God for His love, His mercy, His kindness, and His love.  Don’t let others take away your joy from a sign given to us by God.

God is good . . . even when we don’t deserve His goodness.
