E = Epiphany!

= Epiphany!

On an ordinarily peculiar day I had an epiphany.  There was no mistaking it, I had a spiritual, life changing, sudden, powerful, ah-ha moment that has changed my life in a profound and lasting way.

I find it interesting that the day the magi saw Jesus, after searching scriptures and waiting for years for His arrival, is called the Epiphany.  They had a real ah-ha moment and were over-whelmed by it so that they fell to their knees and began to worship Him. They recognized that they were looking at the King of Kings – a king not appointed by the people nor by family name.  They were looking at what had been written since times  of old they realized that they were in the presence of God.  With an abundance of wide-eyed faith they had the daddy of all ah-ha moments.

And so we use this word to describe those earth shattering moments in our lives.  An epiphany could be when you have been looking at something one way for a long time. This idea or thing has become, what you might say, ordinary. Then one day you realize that ordinary thing is much more meaningful and special.  It is at that split second of a moment that you have an epiphany.

There is so much that is going on around us.  The violence, the hatred, the mean spiritedness has become ordinary.  There is a blackness hovering around the earth and we, as saved folk, are often surrounded by people that have little or no spiritual life. It has become increasingly important that we do not let this negative energy and darkness consume us as well.  Our lives with Christ are dependent on our consistent reminders to ourselves about who it is that we serve and why it is that we serve. It is our duty to show Jesus in everything that we do. The only way that this can happen is by reading, studying, praying and digesting the Word.

All of us at one time or another have felt abandoned by God.  The waiting for change can be long and tiresome on occasion and we may sometimes wonder if God hears us at all. My epiphany moment is when I suddenly feel the presence of God and I know that I am not alone.  When I have those moments He shows up in my praise and prayers of thanksgiving and I am lifted out of the “grey rains.” Epiphany moments happen when we focus on our dependence on God.

E = Epiphany…Eureeka!
