The Rainbow

Good morning, As we approach the spring and the earth is rotating, the winds are shifting and pockets of cold air are being transported and allowed to settle over pockets of warm air. The cold, dense air which is heavy settles down on the warm lofty mass to displace its location, invade, and take over. As you can imagine, the warm air has occupied the land and has no intention of moving. Sparks fly, as in all good western movies, and storms erupt. It has happened exactly like this (although I simplified things a bit) since the creation of time. I can just see the people in Noah's day. NO rain had ever fallen from the sky. The earth watered itself from the bottom up. There was no water cycle and for a season, no need for one. But you know the rest of the story. I want to focus this day on the rainbow. I LOVE them! And you know what's cool, God absolutely knows that we all learn differently. Statistics indicate that only 20% of us learn by hearing, 50% by seeing and 80% by doing. Big differences. I am the visual person. So God thinks, Kathy will need a picture in the sky at certain times to remember I always keep my promises. How cool is that? And yes, there have been days when I absolutely NEEDED a postcard and one came in the mail. The Bible says God keeps his promises for generations. And just when I need it most, a double rainbow. What a mighty God! That huge, colorful picture standing in silence and yet shouting loudly - LOVE it. OK - back to our health. God has provided everything our body needs for health and long life. He is an abundant provider and never leaves us without a window. Think about it - He provides different fruits and veggies that can endure the different seasons, airplanes to transport foods from various places, and the Sunday paper with its abundance of coupons to gain the maximum "bang for the buck" at the grocery store ALL for us because He said He'd provide. You ask, "PK, really? Mankind does all that. " I respond, "Really? And where do you think those ideas originated? You know where". Right? So, why do we worry about rising food costs? Why are we fearful that our budget is heavy on the food side and healthy eating may need to be adjusted? Why? Here's what I pray - let there be rain today followed by a rainbow that will re-emphasize God always honors His word. I used to tell people that you could not have a rainbow without rain, but I have seen with my own eyes that to not be true. So for now, until I can ask God how that occurs, let's simply look for the VISUAL that God provides. And, while he created the rainbow for those of us who are visual learners, those who are not can simply open His Word and read it from there. Whether displayed in the sky or explained on text, God absolutely wants us to KNOW His heart for each of us.
