I saw a rainbow today. It was perfect timing. My life is a little out of control lately. I was in the car at the end of a 30 minute wasted trip in the corridor of waste as I like to call the strip of car lots that line the way to get to my home. I was behind a moron who inexplicibly had to slow down to go up a tiny little bump due to the never ending construction that is present in the northwest suburbs. I almost rear-ended said moron as I turned left and then I saw the beautiful rainbow. I giggled "OOOH look at the rainbow!!!" out loud even though I was alone in the car. I then realized the lyrics to the song that was playing in the van. "Your name is Jesus. Your name is Jesus.
You’re the Wonderful, Counselor, my Friend.
You’re what I hold on to; I know that you brought me through
All the days of loss, to the cross you knew
I’d need a Savior.
How amazing is that? God is so good. It was right in front of me. I have been stuck concentrating on all the things to the side of the road instead of looking at what was right in front of me. I didn't see the beauty.
I continued driving so thankful that God gave me a gift to see the beauty of the rainbow. It took the tenseness of the morning away. It was only 9:15- but the morning had already been filled with chaos. I had done my devotions. It was supposed to keep me centered. The rainbow had brought it back. My vision had been distorted. The next song started with these words:
Light of the world
You stepped down into darkness.
Opened my eyes, let me see.
Beauty that made this heart adore You
Hope of a life spent with You
I think my day will go much better now. My eyes have been opened.
