Providential Rainbow


Sarah Childress sent this picture and explanation in response to Sunday's sermon introduction about Henry Knox transporting the artillery from Ft. Ticonderoga to Boston:

Yesterday evening, the Fourth of July, God sent us this bright reminder of His providence, the third one I have seen during my time here. It arced down to intersect the path where Col. Knox had hauled those cannon down the frozen lake from Fort Ticonderoga 20 miles north to Fort William Henry 10 miles south. As brilliant as the cannon- hauling plan was, it would have failed utterly had the Lord not sent the perfect weather at the perfect time.

Note the rainbow over Shelving Rock, pointing to the transport route on the main lake. Knox would have traveled from left to right, north to south. Black Mountain to the left is the tallest on the Lake and after Knox passed it he would have navigated through numerous islands and rocks in the channels called the Narrows on his way to the widest part of the lake which you see here beneath the cliffs.
