The Touch of God

Paint Mines Interpretive Park, Calhan, Colorado

We have a love affair with rainbows. Many of us can remember driving down the highway and mom or dad's excitement when they pointed out a rainbow. We'd hope to see a pot of gold at the end of that rainbow.

A rainbow is where God touches his creation.

"O LORD, bend your heaven low, and come down. Touch the mountains, and they will smoke." Psalm 144:5 God's Word to the Nations

Along with the psalmist, we invite God to touch the mountains, we also invite him to touch the valleys, to touch the prairie, to touch our lives. Something happens when God touches his creation.

Before our invitation is extended God already bent his heavens and touched his creation. His touch came in the form of cross. And with that cross comes the promise of God's eternal bending to his his people in mercy.
