“And when they saw the star, they rejoiced with great joy.”
Today is Epiphany. I’ve been reflecting on how the wise men must have felt when they arrived at the place where the baby Jesus lay. I’ve also though of how it feels in my own life when I reach an Epiphany. Life is full of little epiphanies. They are special moments in our lives. Just as we are told the wise men rejoiced with exceeding great joy, those moments when we just “get it” are a cause for rejoicing for us.
Not all epiphanies are earth-shattering, but all are important. They lead us and guide us in the choices we make in our daily lives. They are those simple “ah-ha” moments that get us out of the mundane and call us to action.
Here’s my confession: Epiphanies don’t usually come to us every day. I have to confess I wish there were more epiphanies in my life. I wish I had the answers to some of the most important questions in my life. I wish I knew the feeling of exceeding great joy the wise men knew when they found the place where Jesus lay.
