The past few weeks have been weeks of personal struggle for me. Nothing major, mind you. It’s just one of those stretches of the journey when each step seems difficult. The terrain feels rocky and uneven. The sojourn is wrought with obstacles. It hasn’t been a lot of fun and I feel weary.

I left the house early this morning and walked towards the town square to work at the coffee shop. I cut through our backyard to the alley and was dumbstruck by a celestial event that I have never before witnessed. There was a perfect double rainbow spanning the entire horizon. There was a vibrant rainbow with all the colors of the spectrum boldly shining in the morning sun. Above it, faint but visible, was a second rainbow.

I saw it and immediately an exclamation of praise came from deep in my spirit and tumbled off my lips. I stood in wonder.

A rainbow. God’s promise. God’s favor. God’s blessing.
Not just one, but two.
Promise on top of promise.
Blessing upon blessing.

Keep walking. Step-by-step. You walk beneath my promise. Your every step is covered by a double portion of my grace.
