The Promise by Petra Pierre-Robertson


I have set my rainbow in the clouds, and it will be the sign of the covenant between me and the earth (Genesis 9:13)



A little piece

Just a little piece was visible. It was beautiful. It stood out from the dark cloud as a beacon of hope. The cloud provided a picturesque canvas on which its beauty was displayed. But just a piece. Dark ominous clouds obliterated the rest of it... And also threatened to wipe out the sight of the little piece as well.



Dark clouds obliterated

Another piece!

"Look! The other side of it is over there!"

An excited outburst.

"Where?"

On the other side of the sky another piece of a rainbow was also visible. Well, not exactly a piece but the other end of the selfsame rainbow. There

was an entire rainbow ringing the sky on the last day of 2023! However, dark clouds obliterated all but the two ends which stuck resolutely out.



Another piece!

The Promise

The rainbow; a promise and a symbol of hope. God had set that bow in the sky after the flood as a promise, a covenant between Him and the earth. (Genesis 9:13). As we step into 2024 (according to the Roman Gregorian Calendar) may we do so confident that He who has promised is faithful (Hebrews 10:23). You may not always see the evidence. But it is there. God will always give you glimpses of hope; glimpses of His presence. Look for it In 2024!

      Thank you, a very nice promise. It gives me hope, especially how I have seen the end of the rainbow on our property. It was so beautiful and I felt blessed. Thank you for reminding me that God always shows a part of Himself. May the Lord continue to bless you.

What's in the Darkness by Petra Pierre-Robertson

Daniel 2:22 "He reveals deep and hidden things; he knows what is in the darkness, and the light dwells with him" It was early morning. The windows were closed. The curtains were drawn. The silence of morning was therapeutic as I walked through the house planning my day in my head. Three major tasks swam in my head. I headed to my 'To Do" memo pad to document them. Thankfully no major cleaning was necessary. As I passed the living room I noted a little debris on the rug so I digressed for the broom and dust tray to sweep the debris off the rug. Small debris on the rug I pulled back the curtain. The early morning sunlight seeped through. And immediately I saw them; little particles of dust in a straight line riding on the beam of the sun. Instinctively I held my breath as I walked through them. Then it occurred to me,  the particles are in the entire room. I pulled the curtain wider. Additional particles joined the ride and danced on a widened beam.  Dust particles da

“Who do you say I am?” by Petra Pierre - Robertson

Matthew 16:15 “But what about you?" he asked. "Who do you say I am?" Who do you say I am? Random: That is not a nice person    Do you know that person?   Have you met that person before now? Random: No Then how can you say that Random: I get it from a good source Bush for drinking (and perhaps hiding too) The local saying 'doh drink bush tea (to sweat) for other people fever' can be applied here.   In the above encounter, a person harbours ill will, and has negative feelings for someone she/he doesn’t even know, largely because of something someone else has intimated.   Don't drink tea to sweat for another's fever My mind runs back to Christ.   So many negatives were bandied about him; he was a glutton; a  terrible trait alluding to a person who is greedy, had a voracious appetite.   He was also accused of drinking a lot to the point where he was called a winebibber; a term used to describe a habitual drinker of alcohol.   To compound the
