Lightning and Rainbows




Yesterday this picture popped up in my facebook memories. It was a photo I snapped from my car in 2010 while sitting is one of those rare West Texas rain showers. My intent was to get a shot of the rainbow, but my fortune was to capture the lightning shooting across it right as I snapped the shot on my phone. Usually the pictures we see are of lightning OR of rainbows, rarely do you see both at the same time.

In the bible, the rainbow is a reminder of God's promises. It is easy to believe his promises after the storm has passed, but sometimes believing them when the lightning is flashing and the thunder is rolling is a little harder. That is one reason I love this picture so much. It is a reminder to me that God's promises are steady even in the storms. In life, as in photography, we have a tendency to see the storms and the promises as separate images and events. We see the problems we are going through as one image. When the storms pass we can once again see the rainbows of life, but sometimes it is hard to see them both at once.  Faith is counting on the rainbows IN the storm and knowing that even when the promises are not visible they are still there and trustworthy. I pray that you and I will always have to faith to see God's promises are steady, even in the storms!

The Lord is trustworthy in all he promises and faithful in all he does. 
Psalm 145:13

  2. As I sat reading your blog, next to my Mom, 81 years old with Alzheimer’s dementia, she was fascinated by the image of rainbow and lightning. I was drawn to the message: a reminder that problems are for a while, but the promise is eternal. Thank you for sharing the thought and the image.
