Spirtual Strength and Growth

     For some reason I keep coming back to write about the rainbow and the many different ways it can be used.  If you go back to my archives dated May 22, 2011 you will find how I described the way God used the rainbow to leave a  lasting memory in the lives of two young children who had just received Jesus as their Savior.  Then August 7, 2011 I used Roy G Biv, the name that helps us remember the rainbow colors, to emphasize how we can overcome the drought in our lives. Today, I will use the rainbow as an example for growing in our spiritual strength with God.   
     The rainbow is defined as a bow or arc of prismatic colors appearing in the heavens opposite the sun and caused by refraction and reflection of the sun’s rays in drops of rain. 
     God set this bow in the sky and it has special meaning.  It emphasizes a promise and can be thought of as a bridge.  Although there is only one thing we have to do to gain salvation, God gives us many promises that, if sought, will lead us into a peaceful and abundant life.
         Rainbow                                                         
R-ead God’s word daily                                    
A-void temptation                                                 
I-nvolve yourself in Christian fellowship      
N-urture your relationship with God           
B-elieve in Jesus                                             
O-bey God’s instructions                               
W-walk in faith
                                         
        Roy G. Biv
R-esist evil
O-pen your heart to God's love
Y-earn for a walk with God
G-ive your tithe in money and time
B-attle your temptations
I-nvite God into your life
V-alue your communication with God
