Day 25: The Rainbow of Promise



Copyright © 2016 by Michelle Lores

 

Many unspoken words.

A storm brews.

The rain comes down hard.

The thunder is loud and the lightning is fierce.

The winds are ferocious.
 
 

Then—

The storm breaks.

The clouds scatter, and the sun begins to shine again.
 
 

The sky is blue, and there—way up in the sky—appears a rainbow—

Big, Bright, and Beautiful—

As a promise that God will never again destroy earth by rain—

Just as He promises never to give us more than we can handle (1 Corinthians 10:13).

 

How do I know God will keep His promises?

God never lies.

He has a proven record.

 

“I love You, Lord.

What is my cup of SonShine today?

Your precious promises to me.
 


I love You, Lord.

Thank You that I can trust You, and thank You that You will never give me more than I can bear.

Lord, help me to love like You love me.

I try in my own strength and fail.

I get tripped up by my own insecurities and weaknesses.  Lord, I need You to love others through me.

 

Teach me to cling to You as I walk with You through every moment of my life, trusting You to give me the grace to love like You do.

 

You have promised to give me what I ask when I ask according to Your will.

Help me learn more of Your will as I read Your Word and spend time with You.

 

I know You want me to love as You do (John 15:12).

I know Your grace is sufficient for me—power is perfected in weakness

(2 Corinthians 12:9).

And I know You want me to ask for grace with confidence (Hebrews 4:16), that I may receive help.

I just need You so much.

 

I love You, Lord.

I know You have heard my prayer.

Thank You, Lord.

I love You.

In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”

 

What is my cup of SonShine for today?

To hold on to God’s precious promises in every way.
