Epiphany ... realizing that God has (y)our back(s)

Morning: Psalms 46, 97; Isaiah 52:7-10; Revelation 21:22-27

Evening: Psalms 96, 100; Matthew 12:14-21

Epiphany is that moment when truth dawns on you and you break through to a new understanding. It is an ‘Aha!’ It is when a people realizes its destiny as an agent of justice. It is when a woman perceives she has a vital job to do. It is recognizing that strength belongs with gentleness - for gentleness is not weakness - as when a strong warrior defends his family from an enemy and then tenderly cradles his baby with tears in his eyes. It is the moment when you grasp: God has your back, or better - our backs.
