God's Promise
Whenever the rainbow appears in the clouds, I will see it and remember the everlasting covenant between God and all living creatures of every kind on the earth - Genesis 9:16
Yesterday morning, I was reading the book of Genesis, chapters 9 till 11. The part where God covenanted with Noah and all mankind, sealing His promise with a rainbow, really got to me and I pondered upon it.
A thought struck me, that if I were to see a rainbow that day, it would be a sign of God's promise that He is real; that He is a loving and gracious God, not some impersonal, cold deity; that His personal promises to me will be fulfilled.
I forgot all about this thought.
However, after the CF meeting, we went to the McDonald's outlet at Sunrise Tower along Gurney Drive. Hock Chai suddenly pointed out a rainbow - and I recalled the thought I had earlier in the day!
Joy, Sin Yee, Amanda and I ran out to see this wonderful sight. We actually saw it forming! It was so exquisite, the rainbow slowly forming, from half an arc on our left until it spread and intensified in color to our right, finally a complete arc with the colors showing clearly.
Perfect.
It stayed there for quite awhile. I think Joy and I were the nuttiest ones. Passers-by must've thought we were nuts. But who cares what they think?
I didn't leave until it remained a faint splash of color against the sky.
It was so beautiful!!!
God is so wondrous, so amazing, so awesome - and He loves me! His promises are real.
Of course, when I went back in to finish my food, I found half of my fries gone - thanx to the collective efforts of Hock Chai, Jia Yit, Yisrael and Ee Moon!!!
