God Has Your Rainbow

Feel so down and so low
As disappointments only grow
Wondering where can I go
Want to hide, I’m embarrassed so

But in a small voice I’m told
Look up! don’t hold your head low
God has your rainbow
That will shine so beautiful

The time to see you don’t know
The wait may seem too long
But God has your rainbow
So, to faith hold on

You’ll marvel at its beauty of colors
When the rainbow does come
Then you’ll want to tell others
That He’s such a wonderful One.

 

Insight

A rainbow represents a bright spot in an otherwise dreary day.  When life gives you dreariness, don’t look down, look up, God will bring brightness.  He’ll bring you a rainbow to brighten your day.  Or give you beauty for ashes Isaiah 61:3

Trivial Prayer

Sometimes I’m reluctant to pray
As I feel the situation is so trivial it will work itself out
And I want to use praying energy for things that seem like they’re hard
But recently I found myself having to do a “trivial” prayer
The deadline to the airport was near and I just had to be there

There was only one road to the airport and a car covered every inch of it
The possibility of missing the plane grew real by every minute
Another plane wouldn’t come for another day
And I couldn’t stand an overnight stay
As I was so ready to leave that land the previous day

So as traffic inched along the way
I didn’t want to bother God, but I knew no other way
I began to pray, telling Him I didn’t want to stay
Thereafter, traffic didn’t move much faster
But it moved fast enough to barely catch the plane
Thank You Jesus, bless Your name.
Insight
Is anything too hard for the Lord? (Genesis 18:14) for most of us that would be an easy no. But is anything so trivial or easy that we shouldn’t bring it to the Lord? Some of us may wrestle with this question. I know for me if I feel something is simple or it will work itself out; I may not pray about it. But big problems are the result of small problems going unattended. The Lord never said not to ask Him for small or trivial things. In Philippians 4:6 it says “be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God”.

Missing You

We had our battles especially when we first met
I didn’t believe your love
But as the conversations became longer
My trust in you got stronger
And I found that you were sincere
Even though your actions could be weird

And then we became close
You told me everything I should know
And I shared about me what was going on
And we talked all night long

Then suddenly, you’re gone
But I don’t question God’s actions
Of life, I know He is in control (Genesis 2:7)
I’m just missing you so

Miss talking about what’s on TV
Miss what was discussed to eat
Miss your laughter
And our gatherings
May you be blessed in Heaven.

Insight
Life and death are in the hands of God. Here are some examples.
God created all life. He created human life by breathing into the nostrils of man as stated in Genesis 2:7.
God sustains and extends life. In Isaiah 38: 1-5, Hezekiah prayed that he wouldn’t die. The Lord heard his prayers and extended his life by 15 years
God revives life. Many times Jesus raised the dead. In John 11:1-46 Jesus brought Lazarus back to life from death.
God ends life. Many of us know a point in someone’s life when all the prayers, medicine and everything else couldn’t keep the person alive. For God gives and God takes away (Job 1:21). And Jesus said in Luke 12:7 that the very hairs of our head are numbered meaning that we don’t have the ultimate decision over our lives.
