Why
Do We Have Rainbows?
When you see a rainbow in the sky
Do you ever wonder why?
Is there purpose for the rainbow?
I ask myself as I rub my pursed brow.
I think of the rainbow I saw the other day.
It was a double one, simply beautiful in its array.
The colors glistened in the evening skies
Touches of sapphire blue, scarlet red and golden yellow filled my eyes.
Is the only object of the rainbow
To get to the pot of gold below?
Or is the purpose of this beautiful creation
Simply the path to another location?
Did you catch that word I just said?
“Creation” is the word you just read.
Is that what a rainbow is?
A creation made by the Hands of His?
Is it more then just leprechaun and his pot of gold?
More then just a colorful road?
Let us look to the Bible to see
What it says to you and me.
I think God tells us in His Word
That to believe in leprechauns is absurd!
“I have set my rainbow in the clouds, and it will be
The sign of the covenant between the earth and me,”
It says in Genesis chapter nine verse thirteen.
So what does this mean?
A rainbow is the sign of God’s love
A gift from His precious Hands above!
A rainbow is a sign
Of our Lord’s touch divine!
The sight of a rainbow fills me with quiet
Calms my heart and minds riot.
So now, when you see a rainbow in the sky
Will you think of why?
Will you remember what God promised us, His children of great worth?
“Never again will there be a flood to destroy the earth.”
So, again I think of the rainbow I saw the other day.
The double one, simply beautiful in its array.
The colors glistened in the evening skies
Touches of sapphire blue, scarlet red and golden yellow filled my eyes.
Praise You Lord for Your gifts so great!
And thank You for the wonders You create!
