Ek het eergistermiddag hierdie reënboog afgeneem buite my huis. Maar kom ek noem net vir jou dat hierdie foto op GEEN manier diegrootsheidvan hierdieoomblikkanvasvat nie Omdat ek die foto op 'n wye hoek moes neem om alles in te kry, lyk dit of die reënboog baie ver weg is, terwyl dit gevoel hetofek 'nhanetreevandiepotgoud gestaan het. Dit het werklik my asem totaal weggeslaan en ek kon nie ophou kyk daarna nie My eerste gedagte was: Hoe groot is U Here, om hierdieonbeskryflike skoonheid vir diemenstewys!Ditvoelofmensop jouknieë wil neerval en met jou hande in die lug die Hereaanbid. Sommerindieheel eersteboek van die Bybel lees ons van die reënboog ná diesondvloed, waarGodbelowedatHy nooit weer die hele aarde sal oorstroom met reën nie "Toe het God gesê: Dit is die teken van die verbond tussen My en julle en die wilde diere by julle, 'n verbond wat vir alle toekomstige geslagte geld: my reënboog het Ekindiewolkegeplaas.Ditsaldietekenwees van dieverbond tussenMyendieaarde" (Gen 9:12 13) Dink nou net vir 'n oomblik aan diedag toedieeerstemense'nreënboog gesien het Hulle het niks geweet van wetenskap en van ligbreking deur waterdruppels nie. Hoe verstom moes hulle niewees nie! Vandag kenons die wetenskap agter 'n reënboog, maar toe ek hierdie dubbele reënboog sien, was dit vir my veel eerder 'n teken van God se grootheid en sy almag Die mens kan geensins 'n reënboogin dielugplaas nie, net God kan dit doen Maar saam met dit het hierdie teken my opnuut herinnerdatGod sy beloftes hou, tenalletye! Enwatmeeris,sybelofteis'nbevestigingdat sy genade SO grootis, ensy liefde virons so grootis, datHy ons nieweerso sal vernietig nie Sy genade en liefde is eenvoudig net té groot! Ek hetaan sopaarpunte gedink:

*Hyis'ngenadige God

*Hyhou sybeloftes.

*Hygeen onselkedag nog'nkans.

* Hy kan die mees indrukwekkende kunswerkemetsyhandeskep,sodatdiemens ditkanbewonder

* Hy laat toe dat die mens Hom ook deur wetenskap kanleerken

*HyisdieGod vanwonders.

Jamy vriend, as jy Hom soek hoef jy niealtyd vertekyk nie, jy hoef net jou oëop te hef na Homtoe
