The Eastern horizon was awash with pink this morning. As I drove to work, the few scattered clouds in the sky were also painted pink. The weren't enough clouds to really make it a spectacular sunrise, but it was a sunrise!

The need for clouds to make a good sunrise got me to thinking! Watch out, this could be dangerous! I reasoned that it seems to take some kind of adversity to facilitate something of worth. It takes clouds to enhance a sunrise. Usually, it takes a rain storm to produce a rainbow. God had to wipe out the world with a flood before he created the first rainbow. As long as we trust that God is in control, we need not fear adversity, as God will produce something of value from it!

I hope everyone has a good day today. May all your adversities be small ones!
