Yesterday I saw something I have never seen in my life. I was in my store, Revelation TOPS, and had just finished selling a bunch of cute tops to a special customer. I had that satisfied feeling you get when someone looks great in your clothes and is happy you are there. As I was watching her leave, Shop Montrose custom tote in hand, I noticed an unusual golden glow outside. Just then my husband called and said "Go outside! There is something you need to see!"
And there it was! A HUGE DOUBLE rainbow!!!
I was speechless! It seemed to start across town and end right on top of our store! I felt like the Lord was speaking to me, assuring me He has heard my prayers. What a relief it is to know God and know He hears your prayers and will lead you in what is best, according to His will.
As I looked around the scene was like this. People were stopping their cars, pulling out their phones, and looking up....staring. We were witnessing a rare sight and we all knew it. And then there was that golden glow and a light rain. Amazing!
This pic I dedicate to our friend Steve P. who lovingly maintains the Montrose Vietnam War Memorial, the oldest in the nation. The rainbow was right over it and our American flag!
The Bible has a lot to say about rainbows. They represent the covenant God made with us. They are also around His throne. Just take a moment and read this:
"And God said, "This is the sign of the covenant I am making between Me and you and every living creature with you, a covenant for all generations to come:
I have set my rainbow in the clouds, and it will be the sign of the covenant between Me and the earth. Whenever I bring clouds over the earth and the rainbow appears in the clouds, I will remember My covenant between Me and you and all living creatures of every kind. Never again will the waters become a flood to destroy all life. 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." So God said to Noah, "This is the sign of the covenant I have established between Me and all life on the earth." Genesis 9:12-17
And here is what it looks like in heaven:
Revelation 4:1-4 Then as I looked, I saw a door standing open in heaven, and the same voice I had heard before spoke to me like a trumpet blast. The voice said, “Come up here, and I will show you what must happen after this.” And instantly I was in the Spirit, and I saw a throne in heaven and someone sitting on it. The one sitting on the throne was as brilliant as gemstones—like jasper and carnelian. And the glow of an emerald circled his throne like a rainbow. Twenty-four thrones surrounded him, and twenty-four elders sat on them. They were all clothed in white and had gold crowns on their heads.
Thank you Lord for that beautiful rainbow and for what it means! What an experience!
