From Gary... There is a rainbow behind you and a YES in your future
















Life is full of problems; and they can be overwhelming at times.  Sometimes the world feels like its just closing in on you and there is no place to go to get away from all your troubles.  I imagine that is how this surfer must feel, but if he could only look behind him he would see something more that would give him strength; reassurance that everything will work out.  Take a minute and read this small bit of Scripture from Paul's second letter to the Corinthians and look for a rainbow...

2 Corinthians, Chapter 1

19 For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was preached among you by us, by me, Silvanus, and Timothy, was not “Yes and no,” but in him is “Yes.”  20 For however many are the promises of God, in him is the “Yes.” Therefore also through him is the “Amen”, to the glory of God through us. 


  21  Now he who establishes us with you in Christ, and anointed us, is God;  22 who also sealed us, and gave us the down payment of the Spirit in our hearts. 


The "rainbow" in life is Jesus; HE is God's YES, when the things of this world say NO!!!  He is behind you, proving that God means what he says about loving you.  Talk is cheap, dying on a cross- now that is difficult.  But, the blessing has begun with our being sealed by the Holy Spirit who is a down-payment of the blessings yet to come.  We just have to continue riding whatever waves may come into our life by faith.  And BEFORE you ask-- No, God does not supply surfboards!!!
