Four of my six kids were tested for Covid yesterday. Only sinus infection type symptoms but I still wanted to be sure. After receiving negative results, I stopped by Walmart for a few things that we needed. When we left, my daughter turned this song on. Even though I've heard the song many times before, each time feels like the first. It's no secret that 2020 was a stressful year and 2021 has proven to be the same. I'm sure that I'm not alone in feeling that. However, I'd have to say that EVERY year of my life has been stressful for me. Some of it, I brought on myself, some of it, I'm overcoming the stuff I've brought on and then some of it is just life. I always get emotional with this song because I've heard the testimony of Jason David and it always amazes me when someone not only survives something that should have killed them but praises God through the struggle of it. At this point, I'm starting to feel the emotions that I typically have during this song. The sun was shining bright but it had been thundering for a couple hours. It certainly didn't look like it was going to rain or had rained. I turn at the light and immediately see a piece of a rainbow. I drive about 20 more feet and the rainbow got bigger and brighter. It almost didn't look real because it seemed so close and the colors were perfect! I had never seen a rainbow so prominent. I pulled over, let my daughter take a quick picture and got back on the road. As I got a little further, the rainbow got larger and brighter. I had this rush of peace come over me, as if the peace that I already had wasn't enough. I drive another 100 yards, we see a full size rainbow! We could see the profound separation of colors. I pulled over again. We snapped some pictures just in time for the bottom to fall out of the sky, for it to get dark and the rainbow disappeared. My first thought was, "The rainbow might disappear but God's promises ALWAYS remain!" This rainbow, depending on where you were walking/riding/driving at the time, was hovering over some areas that our family has frequented in the last couple weeks and will continue to frequent in the next couple of months. It was a very clear message to me and one that had me in tears in my van. No matter what I've done or what I've said, He continues to show me that He loves me. He graciously takes care of my every need far beyond what I could ever deserve! I'm so grateful to have such a Father who wraps His loving arms around me each and every single day! He is so worthy of all of our honor and praise!!!
