Last Monday night I was leaving work and saw two things that made me sit in my car in awe of God and His creative nature.
The first was a fully arc'd rainbow. I don't think I've ever seen a full rainbow before. I mean, you usually you see part of it, one end or the middle or something like that. But this was a full rainbow. It started on one side of the horizon and crossed the bow river to the other side of the valley. It was fully visible and clearer than I've ever seen a rainbow before. It was so bright that the rainbow reflected in the puddles in the parking lot of the church. It was incredibly beautiful.
The second thing that I saw, which I have never seen before, was the Rainbow touching down. I sat in the parking lot just looking across the Highway and it looked like no more than 300 yards away the rainbow was touching down. I was so awed by this that I wiped out my cell phone and took a picture. I also tried to spot the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, but no joy.
Of course I was reminded of God's covenant with Noah in Genesis 9:13 and I was thankful that I serve a God that never changes. But I was also awed (and still am) with how creative and imaginative God is to create the Rainbow.
I enjoyed that drive home because as I sang "God of Wonders" all I could see was this rainbow stretching out before me over Calgary. What a way to end the day, enjoying God's beautiful creation. Thank you God for this experience.
