This morning, as I stepped out the front door of my house, I saw a rainbow. Although I’ve seen a few during my brief sojourn on our beautiful earth, today was different. This time I chose to marvel with childlike awe. Forgive me for being a just a little paranoid but I fear for our generation. We’ve forgotten how to marvel at nature’s beauty. Science has explained everything or so it seems.
I mean…it’s just a rainbow; what’s the big deal? A ray of sunlight gets split through a drop of water and it’s separated into seven parts…I’m not sure I remember me physics too well, but guess what: I don’t think I want to. Because today, I’ve chosen to adore God’s wisdom, to marvel at beauty in His creation.
The rainbow reminds God of His mercy. It’s hard for God to let go of His justice, but His mercy is probably more difficult for God to let go of.
However I marvel today because the rainbow reminds me of something else. It reminds me of a quest. Legend tells us that, at the end of the rainbow is a chest of treasures and Gold. But if you walk along the path of the rainbow, and you keep walking you’ll never get to the end. The Holy Spirit reminded me of something sweeter than the rainbow. Like the rainbow’s quest it never ends. I’m talking of the pursuit of knowing God intimately. To know Him, to discover His heart and to rest on the Master’s bosom intimately. As we draw closer to God we marvel at His beauty, His splendour and His mercy. With each step closer our awe of God increases enormously, our spirit man becomes stronger and our flesh takes a beating. And like the rainbow we never seem to get to the end of our pursuit. As each page turns and as the chapters unfold the Lord reveals more of himself. When we think we really know him, He reveals another side of his nature. That’s why the psalmist’s desire was to dwell in his house all the days of his life, to behold the beauty of the Father’s holiness. There’s more of God you and I can see and experience, if only we desire…if only we keep on walking along the path of the rainbow. One day we’ll see him face to face and kiss His face, but for now let’s keep on walking…
