Today, as I dragged the vacuum cleaner up the stairs for some much needed cleaning, I heard a sprinkler just outside the door. I didn't think much of it, but I glimpsed up just as the sun hit the water in such a way that created this stunning rainbow, right outside my front door, just like it was put there for me. If I hadn't looked up as I made the trek up the stairs, I would have missed it.
It got me thinking... how often, in the midst of circumstances we don't understand as we trudge upwards carrying a load, or in the midst of us trying to clean up our messes, do we forget to look up and see the promises that God has for us, right on our doorstep? Too often we get tunnel visioned into a task that we think requires our strength, when God's promises are waiting just outside. We just need to step out into them :)
Thank You Jesus, for Your promises. For Your faithfulness. For Your vow of love to us. You are good.
