Genesis 9:16-17
Whenever the rainbow appears in the clouds, I will see it and remember the everlasting covenant between God and all living creatures of every kind on the earth." So God said to Noah, "This is the sign of the covenant I have established between me and all life on the earth."
Good morning Inner-gized Women! The Lord threw a curve- ball at me this morning and completely changed my devotional! After I had dropped off the first 5 children to school and was on the way to my youngest child’s school for drop off something AMAZING happened.
The most beautiful rainbow I ever beheld appeared in the sky. Many rainbows I have seen have been faint or you may only be able to see one side. Not today! This particular rainbow was set against the backdrop of dark rain clouds. It arched across the sky from one side to the other appearing to come to the ground on both sides. The colors were vibrant!! Each band of color (Red, Orange, Yellow, Green Blue, and Violet) was complete and full. My 5 year old and I got out of the car at his school, along with other spectators, and admired the beauty.
Needless to say I was captured by this display of God's reminder that He is here and loves us so greatly. It is fabulous to think that today as that rainbow appeared, God, being true to His word, saw that rainbow and looked lovingly over His people, remembering the covenant He made so long ago.
So how do we apply this to being an Inner-gized Woman?
1. Know this today: NO ONE loves you more than your Heavenly Father! He loves you tremendously and wants to show you that love everyday!
2. Be a rainbow in someone else’s life today! Share the love that God bestows on you, so lavishly, with others. Dazzle them by adding beauty and encouragement to their life when they are around you.
I hope you each have an Inner-gized with Christ kind of day!
