Sometimes in late afternoon when the sun is going down, you see a rainbow at Niagara Falls. I had never seen this before, so this was a real highlight for me when we were there. Rainbows happen when the sunlight beams hit raindrops (or mist in this case) and they separate into different colours. The mist was actually condensing and coming down on us in raindrops.
It was beautiful to see, especially with the sunset that was only lighting the American side of the falls.
According to the Bible, God gave us the rainbow as a reminder of His promise that He would not flood the entire world again. Whenever I see it, I am reminded that we have a Creator who loves us.
Whenever I bring clouds over the earth
and the rainbow appears in the clouds,
I will remember my covenant …
never again will the waters become a flood to destroy all life.
Genesis 9:14,15
