The Importance of Ordinary Rainbows

I've been reading God Is Closer Than You Think by John Ortberg, our small group is studying it, and tonight I lead our discussion. The 2nd chapter discusses in a nutshell something I read in a Max Lucado book, that God came near or to us, to be seen. Like the great story of the road to Emmaus, Jesus was right there, and the apostles had no idea, they couldn't see through everything they threw up to block seeing God.
The importance of rainbows, is that they are a magnificent sight to see. Here lately in DFW we've seen several with all the rain and such, but seeing one is seeing something miraculous, like seeing God; except the chapter goes on to say that we should see God in the ordinary too. Jesus walking down that road was ordinary, the apostles though were looking for something miraculous.
In our day-to-day lives, God is everywhere in the mundane to the miraculous, but more times than naught, he is there in those ordinary moments if we adjust our eyes to see Him!
It's about seeing Him, and faith is what? Seeing the unseen, in the ordinary.
