Rainbow

  What is a rainbow anyway? Well it has always been an optical and 
meteorological phenomenon, but really it's only light and water. So many things 
come to mind when I see one...  For instance, the song Kermit the frog sang," 
Rainbow Connection ", starts playing in my head. But most importantly, in 
Genesis 9:13 God made a covenant with Noah and his sons that He would never 
again flood the earth. He told them that He would make a sign for them to 
forever remind them that He would never again destroy the earth with water, that 
being a rainbow. 
  Rainbows also symbolize starting over. It is written that the first thing Noah 
did after the flood was he began to cultivate the ground, Genesis 9:20. I'll bet 
the ground had never been as soft as it was that day. Have you ever tried to 
plant something in hard packed soil? That very day Noah started a new life, we 
also have that same opportunity. No matter how bad your past has been or how 
hardened your heart may be, God has sent his only Son, Jesus, to be our new 
beginning! 
     It is also said that the Hebrew word for rainbow is the same as "bow". When 
you look at a rainbow, it's shape is similar to a warriors bow.  Consider what 
God did by sending Jesus to take on our sins, some think that it is the imagery 
of the Divine Warrior hanging up his bow of judgment. Im so thankful for the 
forever reminder of a rainbow, and that God sent us his Son ,Jesus, so those 
that are in Christ will  never have to fear the wrath of God for our sins.
