The rainbow


Genesis chapter 9 verses 12 and 13.
Then God told Noah, "And I will seal this promise with this sign: I have placed My rainbow in the clouds as a sign of My promise until the end of time, to you and all the earth."


God's presence is seen everywhere. He is seen in all His creations. The beauty of the world is His gift to us so that we will know that He is with us. The rainbow is His promise to never again get so frustrated with people that He starts over again.
   People in the days of Noah had wandered away from trusting God to care for them. They found it easier to follow wrongful living. People followed their own thoughts, with no sights, on all that God had given them. They had become blind to their ways and did as they saw fit. This caused havoc and turmoil.
   Does it sound much different than the way the world is today? When struggles are really bad and there is no place to turn for food and salvation then people call out to God for help. God sent Jesus so that people would not feel that there is no hope at all. We don't have to wait for things to become so bad that God is our last ditch effort at a peaceful life.
   It should be the other way around. That God is the creator of all things and it is an amazing privilege to live in His world, where He has given us a way through Jesus, to worship and honor Him. Many people never come to the realization that God created all things and is in everything. They find it hard to accept. To those who do become curious they see how Jesus is leading them to a life with God.
   Letting others know of Jesus and the amazing love of God, gives everyone the opportunity to see how wonderful life can really be. Let no one be left out from knowing about Jesus. The life He offers is way to amazing to be kept to yourself. A good analogy would be the difference between a black and white photo and a color photo. When you see color for the first time you are amazed by it's brilliance.
   Life with God is totally different than anything you have ever experienced before. His Holy Spirit is always with you. Your focus is never away from God or Jesus. You seem to have the right words to speak that help others in their time of need and opens conversation to share Jesus and God's love. You seem to have the right thoughts that give you success and keep you from wrongful harm.
   It is not an easy transition to let go of life without God and to let Jesus bring you into life with God. Your habits and thoughts will fight against your changing values, but hold tightly to the bible and trust in God to set you free. The rewards are much greater than you can ever imagine. You have spent a lifetime without God so spend the rest of your life with Him. Your hopes for peace and love will prevail.
   Thank you Father for Jesus and freedom to live in peace and happiness. 😊
