Hope's Rainbow
We can rejoice, too, when we run into problems
and trials, for we know that they help us develop
endurance. And endurance develops strength
of character, and character strengthens
our confident hope of salvation.

The rainbow is God's promise
      of hope for you and me,
And though the clouds hang heavy
      and the sun we cannot see,
We know above the dark clouds
      that fill the stormy sky
Hope's rainbow will come shining through
      when the clouds have drifted by.


Have you ever watched at rainbow and thought about God's promise to us in the rainbow?  God is with us, and he does promise us that he is with us.  We maybe going through some really dark times, but look for the rainbow, it may be some small thing that God uses to show us he is there.  His voice or actions may be quiet, we may need to stop and listen, to wait for him to speak.  But he is there.

Father, thank you for this new day, our opportunity to sit in your presence, to walk with you by our side. Help us to patiently wait for you directions and guidance as we take each step this day.  In Jesus Name. Amen.

Yesterday, it was a school day, I cleaned church and we had Bible Study.  The new sofa came, it was very difficult to get the old one out so when I came home last night there were doors, etc. sitting there that had to be removed to put it in, but It looks good, most important it is comfortable.  We will enjoy it.
