As I was walking I felt my legs under me in a way that brought back a true feeling of possible exhaustion that I missed. I was noticing things all around me when all the sudden, as in Colorado, It started to rain. Now since I was just at the start of my walk and feeling sort of low, I had to resist all sorts of feelings telling me to turn back, yet I kept going, one step in front of the other. As I walked it rained on me, sometimes large drops and sometimes many small drops, sort of refreshing really so I endured.
As I was walking I found myself thinking about who I am in Christ and all the promises in scripture that are there for us in times like this. So I was thinking of these things and turned a corner in the road. I looked up and there before me as if the painter was using the brightest watercolors imagineable I saw a beautiful and very distinct rainbow. This caused me to smile and even chuckle out loud. I hear you GOD, yes I am thinking on your promises, knowing that you never leave me, you love me, and so many more... Would have caused me to cry but the rain had that part covered.
I continued to think on things that are noble, true, praiseworthy, and filled with TRUST and guess what? I looked up again to stare at that amazing and very distinct rainbow and was almost shocked, but really should not have been, because there was another larger, brighter rainbow towering over the one I had seen at first and together it was amazing. People were coming out of store fronts, pointing it out to others and yet there was the very real distraction of many cars driving right by.
I don't want to be a person that forgets to sit in awe and wonder over rainbows, and things that God has created. I earnestly want to be that person that would stop what I was doing to ponder the greatness of the creator, in every color, distinct pattern and amazing view that HE gives to me.
Do you stop to stare or do you just drive by?
