A Promise from God

I had something happen to me this week that really made me sit back and think. I was riding my bike into work the other night and it was raining. Nothing major. Just a steady sprinkle. As I headed up Austin Bluffs (one road I ride into work) I saw the most brilliant rainbow I've ever seen! Did I have my camera? Of course not. It wouldn't fade either! The closer I got the more solid it became. There was a second one as well but that one was quite a bit fainter and eventually the first one started to fade. I reached the road Sams Club is on and as I started riding down it I saw another rainbow of equal brilliance. This one was amazingly solid. However, the cool thing about it was that I also saw one of the best sunsets I've seen (actually the best) since I moved here. Again. No camera. Oh well. As the sun was a setting the clouds and the sun created this gold glow at one end of the rainbow. I saw the "pot of gold" at the end of the rainbow, or at least the glow from it. An amazing sight for sure! Now to my point. I couldn't help but think of God's promise to Noah. The earth will not be flooded again. My thoughts however moved beyond that. The promise God has made to each/all of us that He will protect us, provide for us, and just plain be there for us. I believe that's what the promise of the rainbow is. What is the moral of the story boys and girls? God is always there to protect us. Oh and ALWAYS have your camera handy! :-)
