Both Transparent and Reflective

[S] Ezekiel 1:28 --
28 As the appearance of the rainbow in the clouds on a rainy day, so was the appearance of the surrounding radiance. Such was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the LORD. And when I saw it, I fell on my face and heard a voice speaking.

[O] Every time I see the rainbow on a rainy day in front of a gray backdrop, a rush of awesome sensation run through my mind because of its beauty as well as the precious moment I happened to witness (and they don't stay around too long).  This verse tells me that it's just a quick preview of how wonderful the glory of the Lord will be revealed when He returns.

[A] I am envisioning God's glory radiating out like the beautiful rainbow from our lives.  In fact, that is how my life should be led while on this earth.  I am not sure whether I need to be transparent or reflect His glory to bring for the rainbow-like glory but I guess it's a little bit of both just like how the water molecules -- both transparent and reflective of the sun light -- display the rainbow.

[P] Dear Father, make me part of Your beautiful rainbow for this world which is dark and gloomy.  May Your glory bring together the people so they would get to know the wonderful plans You have for them.  In Jesus' name.  Amen.
