Not electric, not fire,
not weather in the heavens,
The light flashes appear
Not as I count sixes or sevens.
They can’t be seen by the eyes
Only evidence when I look back,
Then I notice the ripples
And they become easy to track.
Recently I heard Stephen J. Lund speak about a business trip he took to the Far East. He said that during the drive from the airport, he felt inspired to look through small gaps in concrete wall slabs through the bridge they were driving on. Through those gaps he could see a beautiful view. He compared the light coming through the gaps to the flashes of light people receive from God during life’s journey.
“Life often presents like an incessant grey wall stretching off into nowhere, but here and there, if you watch for them, flickering assurances of God’s love for us will become evident.”
It may be a knowing that someone or some experience will have a lifelong impact. Sometimes it comes as assurance that you are invited to step forward and pursue the light. These are more than coincidental events. They are more than serendipity. They are similar road signs or landmarks that appear over and over again in your life.
