Living under the Rainbow

There is something about rainbows!
Whenever one appears on the sky with its colorful streaks, it creates wonders below.
People stop in their tracks, from their busyness, point and crane their necks in odd angles to get a glimpse - that, to me, is wonder-filled behavior.

Have you ever walked under a rainbow?
I came pretty close to that experience one morning (or so it seemed - I think they look closer than they really are).
It was one of those mornings -on the track running my loops- with sluggish legs, a body with no spring in it and my mind in the same kind of state. As I rounded the corner to finish a loop a huge, vibrant colored rainbow was right there in front of me. So close, it seemed I would be under it within 3 steps, maybe even reach up and touch it. Beautiful it was.
 It changed my morning run completely. My legs were still sluggish and what not, but the attitude of my heart did a 180, and my face turned smiley.
Rainbows always make me smile, you see, because I do believe what the Bible says, that God put it in the sky as a sign of his promise. Gen. 9:13

The Bible is packed with promises - somebody, not I, knows the exact number - promises for today, promises for tomorrow.
Some I discovered as if they were spoken into my heart while reading them, and my heart grew light and soared in joy.
Some make me bow my knees before the one and only God Almighty.
Others make me fall apart, at loss for words to express my love and gratitude toward my Lord and Savior.
So many, many more are waiting for me to find them, be led to them and hear them whisper in my heart.

I may never walk under a rainbow - but you see, I realized that God has invited me to walk in his promises every day! How can that but put a smile on my face?
