from Isaiah 60:1-6
No one likes to feel overlooked, forgotten, marginalized, or unnoticed. Often our New Year’s resolutions have a goal that is bettering ourselves in hopes of avoiding such feelings…but what do you do when it feels like God is the One Who is overlooking you, when God is the One who isn’t noticing you?
What do you do when you feel like God is answering everyone’s prayers but yours?
Epiphany is about realization. It is realization of Who God is through what God is doing.
In Isaiah 60:1-6 we have an opportunity to connect the visit of the Magi to a greater purpose in God’s choice to give His glory to Israel. More than that we have an opportunity to come away with a new realization of what might just be behind the way God chooses to deal with us.
