Am I Missing Something?
All week long I’ve been thinking about epiphanies and how they have happened in my life. How often I have that “Ahah” experience and come to understand something that has previously been a mystery to me. These feasts of Epiphany and Baptism are all about God manifesting Godself to us. God has “grasped me by the hand”. [Actually, I think God had to tackle me since I'm usually running from God.] The line in the Gospel where Jesus comes up from the water and “the heavens were opened for him” leads me to ask myself, “What is God trying to get across to me and maybe I’m not listening?” What part of the “heavens”, of mystery, is God trying to break open for me at this time of my life?
The gospels throughout the week all had Jesus “manifesting” himself to the apostles: healing, feeding the 5000, walking on water…duh! Yet they still didn’t catch on. So what am I missing? Maybe God is being just as clear with me, but I’m not attentive enough to get it. Lord, help me to see. If you will to, you can heal my blindness.
