With a squeal of the tires and a screech of the brakes, the trash truck pulled up. It was just doing its weekly, ordinary, unpleasant job of cleaning up the residue of our overindulgence, our waste. But this time, it brought a rainbow. Yes! A rainbow! The truck's window was perfectly aligned with the sun and my window, thereby capturing and refracting light in a brilliant, colorful display on my wall. Rainbows represent promises to me, and here was a rainbow--a promise--rising from the stench of the trash. God's faithfulness allows for the same in me. Every time I allow His Spirit to haul away the excess clutter in my life, the built up stench of things gone bad, or the unfruitfulness of all I've wasted, He fulfills His promise to cleanse and restore, and in a dazzling burst of color, He fills my future with hope.
