The Rainbow of all Rainbows

My photo doesn't do this beautiful artwork of God justice.

The other day, I was driving home from some errands by myself (ah, silence in the car...) and I spied a stunning rainbow. It was actually a double rainbow...so rare, and I think only the second one I've ever seen in my life. Maybe I'm just not normally out when there are rainbows dancing through the sky, but I was in awe.

Here I was, driving the car, with the song, "I Stand in Awe" {ironically} softly playing on the radio when I was almost stopped in my tracks by the wonder of the Lord.

It was magnificent. Such a vivid rainbow I have never seen.

I raced home so I could try to snag a few pictures of it, but it had already faded some. I snapped what I could, but like I said, this photo truly doesn't do it justice.

What a beautiful reminder of the Lord's presence in our lives! I wasn't hopeless or overwhelmed or even discouraged at the time, but I thought about the multitudes of people looking at the very same rainbow as me. And I was sure that the Lord was speaking to the hearts of many of them.

It was a stunning gesture by the Lord of the universe--almost as though He was extending His very arm to us, ready for any willing soul to take hold of it.
