Poetry can give us an epiphany. A different perspective or sudden appreciation of understanding something in a new or clear way.
Historical narrative can also give insight, sometimes through recorded observation, sometimes through myth and legend of how unexpected events or experiences brought an epiphany. Archimedes in his bath, Issac Newton heading the apple, Mendeleev’s periodic dream, Einstein on the street car in Bern all produced incredible new insights that shape our understanding of the world.
I know a number of wise men and women around the world who are seeking and still haven’t found what they are looking for. I pray that this will be the time when their thirst is quenched with living water.
I hope that in 2022 we will all be marked by this curiosity to know and experience more of the Lord and a fresh commitment and desire to act on what we know.
Without curiosity we will not have an epiphany!
