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."
-Genesis 9:12-16
A few weeks ago, I had been struggling with some things in my mind that I couldn't shake and had been praying that God would give me a big sign to let me know everything was going to be okay.
As I was walking out my door that evening as the sun was going down and it had just stopped raining, i saw the rainbow in the above picture. I stopped in awe of the beautiful rainbow that was so clear. Honestly, I'm pretty sure I had never seen one like it before in person, only in pictures.To add to its beauty, it was also a double rainbow.
I took it as a definite sign of the upcoming year and the things that have been struggles in my life lately. I felt the double rainbow was a sign that even though I couldn't see the second one clearly (like I have no idea what the upcoming year holds) it was still there, and it was just as beautiful as the the full clear rainbow.
As I continue to struggle, I find myself with a since of peace, even though at times I have been very uncomfortable and frustrated. I now have to keep my eyes completely focused on God, pushing distracting things aside. Letting God take my life in the direction I am supposed to go.
