A double rainbow makes us happy because we remember not just once but twice God’s covenant signature.

When the whole earth flooded, God’s regret let loose in remembrance of His perfect creation.

We trust you, LORD. Even when we are tossing with worry or overcome by a flood of dissipation* (1 Peter 4:4) our mantra is to remember You.

Why? Who else collects our tears in a bottle and keeps count of our tossing? Who else bought us back to what He originally intended? #peacewithGod- Teresa

 Psalm 56:8-11 (ESV)

8You have kept count of my tossings;[c]

    put my tears in your bottle.

    Are they not in your book?

9 Then my enemies will turn back

    in the day when I call.

    This I know, that[d] God is for me.

10 In God, whose word I praise,

    in the Lord, whose word I praise,

11 in God I trust; I shall not be afraid.

    What can man do to me?

1 Peter 4:1-6 ESV

Stewards of God’s Grace

[1] Since therefore Christ suffered in the flesh, arm yourselves with the same way of thinking, for whoever has suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin, [2] so as to live for the rest of the time in the flesh no longer for human passions but for the will of God. [3] For the time that is past suffices for doing what the Gentiles want to do, living in sensuality, passions, drunkenness, orgies, drinking parties, and lawless idolatry. [4] With respect to this they are surprised when you do not join them in the same flood of debauchery, and they malign you; [5] but they will give account to him who is ready to judge the living and the dead. [6] For this is why the gospel was preached even to those who are dead, that though judged in the flesh the way people are, they might live in the spirit the way God does.

In 1 Peter 4:3-4, he reminds believers of their past lives, saying, “For you have spent enough time in the past carrying out the same desires as the Gentiles, living in debauchery, lust, drunkenness, orgies, carousing, and detestable idolatry. Because of this, they consider it strange of you not to plunge with them into the same flood of reckless indiscretion, and they heap abuse on you.” Peter contrasts the former life of dissipation with the new life in Christ, urging believers to live in accordance with God’s will.”
