Rainbow

Ever wonder why God give us rainbow? According to the old testatment in the bible, God wanted to destroy mankind as they have sinned against God and their heart is awefully wicked. God somehow was grieved and wanted to destroy humanity by sending a major flood to flood over the whole world. But when God look upon the earth, he found Noah. He was a righteous man and through Noah, God has assigned a task to him to build Him a ark for the coming flood.

People ridicule him but Noah's convictions was un-stoppable and hence when the day of the flood came, only all the animals and his family was saved in the ark. After the flood is over, God gave a convenant to us with a seal of a beautiful bend of rainbow that He will not destroy the earth again...

I was pondering about this passage as i was blogging... Last week was a hectic week for me. Torn by many decisions at work and many other things...

As i was dragging my feet to work after a stormy morning, i was making my way to work and was looking down while walking towards my bus stop, then suddenly i lift up my head and a smile broke out when i saw a big bend of beautiful rainbow.

It was the most beautiful rainbow i have ever seen in my life :) All of sudden all my thoughts that has been cluttering my mind seems to be so insignificant. It was like as if God has painted that rainbow especially for me. Im not sure if anyone has lift up their heads and look up the sky but surely i did.

I felt as if God speaking to me to lift up my head to Him, to look to Him. Indeed, we all go through life's challenges dont we? Desires that has yet to be met, a love that longs for a return, disease that long to be heal, mountains of debt to be clear, a career that seems so meaningless, heartaches that never ceases, a pain that we thought it can never go away.... the list goes on and on...

Have you ever been caught in one of that situations? If you have not, well at least i do. But one thing i know for sure... after the stormy weather it will be the rainbow we will see.

After all I may not know what my future holds.. But i am sure to know who holds my future :)
