Count Your Rainbows The story of Noah is astounding. We all know the story. If you truly think about what was asked of him from the Lord and how he responded, it should increase your faith. Fact is, he had never seen or experienced rain. He had never heard thunder, splashed in puddle or seen lighting for that matter. And now he's to expect enough rain to completely flood the Earth and all of creation? Oh, and by the way - build a boat large enough to carry a zoo, the size of a football field. What was Noah to do? At that point, he had two choices. Either be swept away in the raging floods or build a boat for him and his family's safety along with 2 of every kind of creature. The first choice would have been a result of fear, the unknown and disbelief. The second choice required immediate faith, obedience and trust. We're all thankful for Noah's example of his trust in God's word! God brought him through the rain and through the storm. And at the end of it all God paints a beautiful rainbow across the sky as a promise to Noah that He'd never flood the Earth again. It also serves as a reminder to us that when we're going through the storms of life, to trust that God has a boat of our own to build and to choose to set our minds and hearts on those promises and plans He has for our life. Think on these things, when it begins to rain in your life. The rainbow is coming.
