You can sing a rainbow…
Sing a rainbow…
Sing a rainbow, too.
"I have placed my rainbow in the clouds. It is the sign of my covenant with you and with all the earth. When I send clouds over the earth, the rainbow will appear in the clouds, and I will remember my covenant with you and with all living creatures. Never again will the floodwaters destroy all life. When I see the rainbow in the clouds, I will remember the eternal covenant between God and every living creature on earth." Genesis 9:13-16
Perhaps one of the most taken-for-granted indulgences offered by Invisible God is His gift of color to us; He certainly could’ve created a world in shades of gray had He wanted to.
Instead, He gave us promise…a pledge…His covenant…in the form of a rainbow. Unbreakable and everlasting, it’s a miraculous demonstration of His love for humanity. That remembrance is clear indication of color’s significance in the economy of God.
Oh, my, consider this: color is so important to God, when He created man, He created people of color! Because we’re created in His image, and our skin color is not homogeneous, color must be inherent in who God is! Is your mind blowing? Mine is.
When was the last time I thanked God for "color"? Ummm, that would be never. Never before have I thought how dull creation would be devoid of it, never have I imagined a world confined to black and white.
Today, I’m praising God for the richness and magnificence and diversity and delightfulness and beauty of the colors that envelop me. May I always see it with the clarity and appreciation for it God has impressed upon me now.
Initially written for Carmi’s Thematic Photographic at Written Inc., I returned to add thoughts on color for Scribbit’s monthly Write-Away contest. Michelle always offers engaging themes which are among my favorite to write–why not try YOUR hand this month?
The words and the photos are beautiful!
Great shots. And thanks for introducing me to Written, Inc.
Forgot to add — I love the way you brought it all together with the Genesis quote.
Cool. And not only that, but now I will be singing “Sing a Rainbow” in my head all day and will probably have to download it to play it as well.
🙂
These are amazing photos. Great job!!!
Now that’s a lot of color! All the photo are beautiful.
Love the pictures! That was my favorite song in Kindergarten!
Aw. I love that song.
Hey, yeah I saw Carmi’s blog and It made my day! Very cool. Since my hubby just completed his first week on the road — and is still out there — I’m very glad that his truck doesn’t look like that one!
Amazing pictures. I bought a camera recently that I have been thinking about throwing through the window!! 🙂 It is probably user error, but I liked my old one better. Once again, great pics!
This post was beautiful and fun. I can sense how much fun you must have had putting it together. 🙂
You share moments with a spirit that lifts mine.
All morning long, I’ve been having a tough time slogging through some work that my brain just refuses to wrap itself around. But a quick visit here has restored a little color to the space around me – just enough to dive back into this miserable project and get it off my plate once and for all!
Then I’ll grab the camera and head back out because sometimes, you just have to follow your creative soul.
Thanks for this.
gorgeous photos. I’m even impressed that you have them so organized that you can get them all together for a post.
What beautiful pictures and I’m singing along 🙂
Nice! I lovely combination of words and images, Robin. God’s rainbow is a permanent reminder, and truly a song for us to sing.
Hop on over to my place and see my entry to Scribbit’s contest… in just under the wire. :~D
That was beautiful! I loved it! More to be thankful for! God is AWESOME! and what an artist!!
great reminder and wonderful pics!
