I was reading on the couch on this rainy Thursday and the sun suddenly burst forth, which means, in Scotland, it will rain harder. In my cabin, there are two sets of french doors. One facing the valley north which changes its glory moment by moment, and one facing the hill west that the evening sun splashes its beauty upon, lighting up the grass heads in a moment of splendor right before sun sets. Out the first set of doors, looking into the valley, was the largest rainbow I had ever seen. So close you could touch it. So complete you could see where it landed on both ends. So bright I could see every color as if it were painted on a canvas. Breathtaking!
Whenever I see a rainbow, I am reminded of God's promise given to Noah after the global flood in Genesis 9:
12 And God said, This is the token of the covenant which I make between me and you and every living creature that is with you, for perpetual generations:
13 I do set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a covenant between me and the earth.
14 And it shall come to pass, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the bow shall be seen in the cloud:
15 And I will remember my covenant, which is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh; and the waters shall no more become a flood to destroy all flesh.
Not only did God give us a visual reminder we can still see today of His promise never to destroy every living creature on the earth with water again, He was also the one who created light with the property to bend and create a rainbow. Also did God create rain to refract the light to make a rainbow. Also did God give us a nudge on the couch to enjoy His rainbow and be reminded of His promise that is still kept to this day.

The rainbow is really stunning. The best one I've ever seen. Looks like you could stand under it. Did you happen to see a pot of gold anywhere nearby?
