rainbows and redemption

There are so many illustrations of God’s redemptive nature here in the creation we’re surrounded by.

Obviously, there are the rainbows that we see frequently – out of storms comes something beautiful… God’s redemption.

And the weather always gives you something nice… if it is freezing outside, the sun is shining. If it is raining and storming, it’s a bit warmer… God’s redemption.

But even take something small and simple… oyster shells. On the outside, well – they’re just ugly and black and bumpy. But, on the INSIDE, they are iridescent polished beauty… God’s redemption.

Here, i am daily reminded in nature and in my own walk with the Lord, and can say as the psalmist said,

“with Him is abundant redemption!” (Ps. 130:7, NKJV)
amen
