Rare View of a Rainbow

Dear G_:

While having dinner tonight, the sun was shining but it was raining at 1800 hours. (A meteorological paradox always amazes me.) I beheld a rainbow through the dining area window! Indeed, this was a very rare phenomenon for a rainbow to appear conveniently for my viewing.

I took some photos of the rainbow from the garage looking eastward. Later they were combined as a panorama. Here it is.

Apropos of the event, here is Spurgeon quote excerpted from his Faith’s Check Book:

“Faith always sees the bow of covenant promise whenever sense sees the cloud of affliction. God has a bow with which He might shoot out His arrows of destruction; but see! it is turned upward. It is a bow without an arrow or a string; it is a bow hung out for show, no longer used for war. It is a bow of many colors, expressing joy and delight, and not a bow blood-red with slaughter, or black with anger. Let us be of good courage. Never does God so darken our sky as to leave His covenant without a witness; and even if He did, we would trust Him, since He cannot change, or lie, or in any other way fail to keep His covenant of peace. Until the waters go over the earth again, we shall have no reason for doubting our God.”

In Christ, Paradise Is Regained.
