Lately I have been experiencing something that is new to my relationship with the Lord. It’s taken me a while to recognize what was happening but this morning Liz Curtis Higgs in her weekly Facebook Live (each Monday at 8am) named it. She called it your ‘never gotten it moments.’
For years I
have had what I called light bulb moments. I would be reading or studying in
the Word and I would recognize a truth. You know, a fact, something that maybe
explains a question you’ve been pondering.
But lately,
it’s been different. It’s as though the words that I am reading have a life of
their own. You know the commercial that says to food ‘get in me?’ That’s what
keeps happening. And when it ‘gets in me’ it’s like old Faithful! An explosion
of insight, understanding, connection. And the best part? Within a short period
of time, I need that very insight to navigate life. I am constantly struck by
how quickly I use the nugget.
God’s Word
feeds me. It prepares me for the day’s moments. What a blessing this has been
over the past year and a half. Color my world with “I’ve never gotten it
before!’ moments, Lord.
