The beauty of the Creator is the various ways in which He reveals Himself.
I was reading Matthew 17 again and the wonder that the three disciples got when they saw their Rabbi transfigured ad conversing with the Law and Prophets. In the midst of this magnificent convocation, Peter thinks it’s time to mark the occasion with monuments. Yet this insight wasn’t given to have the point of monuments. The father in heaven chose this opportune time to remind these disciples that the whole point of Jesus was to hear Him and follow Him. The affirmation is something, but it’s the instruction that should really be arresting when it comes from that particular divine source.
It’s great that we can relate to Jesus in prayer. It’s even better when we can have an encounter with Him that leaves us in awe of Him. Desperate to follow Him as we pay attention to Him. From the point of that awe of having an encounter that gives a greater insight into who He is.
Just a thought.
For His Name’s Sake
Shalom
