I don't know about you, but the weather changes my mood. If it's sunny with blue skies outside, I can't help feeling encouraged and upbeat. But if it's like today, with gray clouds and drizzling rain I automatically feel down. Then, I think what's going to come after it. Like Gilbert K. Chesterton said, "And when it rains on your parade, look up rather than down. Without the rain, there would be no rainbow." Rainbows cheer me up. They remind me that God is with me. So, on days like today, I strive to "look up, rather than down." I try to look for the rainbow, amidst the clouds. That's kind of like life, don't you think? We have sunny days, and we have rainy days. In life, the rainbow is God. Some people don't have that rainbow to look up upon. They think that they will just have to mumble "The Sun Will Come Out Tomorrow" under their breath, crossing their fingers that it will. For those of us that have Christ in our lives, we can know that the "Son" really will come out. Maybe not tomorrow, or the day after, or this year, or in 10 years. But it will. When we see Jesus. In fact, we won't even need the sun because Jesus will be all the Light we need.
"And the city has no need of sun or moon to shine on it, for the glory of God gives it light, and its lamp is the Lamb." ~ Revelation 21:23
