Rainbow in the Morning

A rainbow in the morning is a rare event. Usually you see rainbows in the afternoon. It takes the right combination of sun angle and rain and person locale to make a rainbow visible. The person has to be in the right place between the sun and the rain for the rain to make the spectrum visible to the observer.
In scientific terms the sun light is refracted by the rain revealing the spectrum of light to the observer.
So, let's us refract this lesson into Christian teaching; you have to be between the Son (Jesus) and the rain (the situation) to see all the colors of Christ sorted out in an organized pattern. How many storms of life, life experiences, can you thin back on and see where Christ as a different color in the spectrum of Son-Light?
Most of the time the storm passes, the sun comes out and we can see a rainbow. Son behind us, storm behind us and Christ is revealed to us. Weather patterns in Upstate New York predominantly move west to east. The sun moves east to west. We usually see rainbows to the east of where we stand. To see a morning rainbow we look west with the sun in the east. This means the storm is still to be experienced. What a gift to have the colors of Christ displayed before the storm hits, a reminder that God will be with you!
