如果在下雨的时候阳光灿烂，这往往是寻找彩虹的好时机。阳光透过水滴照射，在天空中形成美丽的彩色光谱。

彩虹的美令人惊叹，蔚为壮观。在可怕的暴风雨之后出现的彩虹，带给我们一个充满盼望的应许：未来天气会更晴朗。

神用彩虹给挪亚一个盼望的标志，这对我们今天来说仍然是一个提醒。在世界因着人们的罪而被洪水毁灭后，神应许再也不发这样的洪水。神承诺不会让罪将祂与祂的子民隔绝。彩虹是一个美丽的盼望的标志，因为它就像一张没有箭的弓，就像战后它被挂在墙上，永远不会再发射。这使我们想起神永远爱我们的应许。

每当你看到彩虹，你可以把它看作是神美丽创造的一部分。你也可以把它看作是神对救赎的美好应许的记号，这个应许神一定会持守。

If the sun is shining while rain is falling, that is often a good time to look for a rainbow. The sunlight shines through water droplets to form a beautiful spectrum of color across the sky.

The beauty of the rainbow can be surprising and spectacular. A rainbow that appears after a frightening storm can bring a hopeful promise of clearer weather ahead.

God used the rainbow to give a sign of hope to Noah, and that is a reminder for us still today. After the world was destroyed by a flood because of the people's sin, God promised never to send such a flood again. God promised not to let sin come between him and his people. The rainbow is a beautiful sign of hope because it is like a bow without arrows, as if hung on a wall after battle, never to be fired again. That reminds us of the promise that God will always love us.

When you see a rainbow, you can see it as a part of God's beautiful creation. You can also see it as a sign of God's beautiful promise of salvation, a promise God is sure to keep.
