A rainbow is a symbol of God's promise to never destroy the earth again by flood. It is a representation of His covenant to us and every living creature. I have set my rainbow in the clouds, and it will be the sign of the covenant between me and the earth. Genesis 9:12-14 Rainbows are beautiful --- aesthetically, and more importantly, because of what they represent. May we all continue being faithful to the Lord, and hold on to His promises to us.

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. When I saw it, I fell facedown, and I heard the voice of one speaking. Ezekiel 1:28

Thank you so much for this wonderful post. I had a rainbow appear in an unusual place once when I was making a very hard, scary decision, and It was proof to me that God was giving me the ok. It turned out to be the right decision, and I still get a special feeling when I see a rainbow.
Thanks, Lei. Awesome as usual!
Love this post! Rainbows make me smile, and think of God's promises! Thanks for posting this one :)

Lovely post Lei :o)
God actually sent me a rainbow when my Grandma passed away. He sent it in answer to a question I asked Him, to comfort my heart... He does always comfort His children and He ALWAYS keeps His promises too!
