Where the Rainbow leads

                                             

 This morning I saw the rainbow, in the picture, on the way to take my daughter and her friend to their

     morning workouts at their school. I thought about what was really at the foot of the rainbow and than I          wondered where the rainbow might lead me.  Would it lead me into the trees or a wheat field?  Where          would I be if I followed the rainbow?                                                                                                                                                                   

 Seeing the rainbow didn't lead me to  gold or into the trees or a wheat field.  It did lead me to think of my  God.  The One who gave us the rainbow to remind us that He would never flood the whole earth again.  It also reminded me of His greatness and wonder.  It reminded me that my God loves and cherishes me.   

  I pulled up into the parking lot to let the girls out and saw a big puddle of water from the rains that left the        rainbow behind.  The first thing I noticed was the reflection of the rainbow.  The reflection was just as           beautiful as the rainbow that was gracing the sky.  The reflection lead me to the cross.  The cross where  my Savior died!  It lead me to the fact that He died and rose again for me!  It lead me to the feet of my Savior!

This  lead me to the fact that my life should reflect my Savior just as the puddle was reflecting the Rainbow and God's Glory!  My reflection should be one of God's Grace, Love and Forgiveness!!  

Where does the Rainbow lead you?? 

Genesis 9:13-15

New International Version (NIV)

13 I have set my rainbow in the clouds, and it will be the sign of the covenant between me and the earth. 14 Whenever I bring clouds over the earth and the rainbow appears in the clouds, 15 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.

Ezekiel 1:27-28

New International Version (NIV)

27 I saw that from what appeared to be his waist up he looked like glowing metal, as if full of fire, and that from there down he looked like fire; and brilliant light surrounded him. 28 Like the appearance of a rainbow in the clouds on a rainy day, so was the radiance around him.
This was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the Lord.
