One of the gifts God gives us from time to time are moments of clarity when something about life or God become crystal clear. It may be the goodness of God when He intervenes on our behalf, or a sinful pattern that He gets our attention on, a job we know we should give up or a family matter that grabs our attention.
It is a moment when a bright light shines on our soul and we wake up to something that we had not experienced before.
Saul had a moment of clarity when he met Jesus on the road to Damascus. David had a moment of clarity when Nathan confronted him regarding his sin. Moses had a moment of clarity at the burning bush.
Moments of clarity are precious moments, holy moments when they move us closer to God or point out something in our lives that demands our attention. The loss is when we either ignore them or forget them which we often do.
Think about the moments of clarity God has given you over the years and then consider whether you are living up to the clarity you were given in that moment. We become poorer when we ignore those moments when truth and understanding shine through. It may just be that God is speaking to us at that moment.

Good Word - thanks. Much of the greatest transformations in our life happen in those moments of clarity. They are places of leaps forward - either out of harms way, or just directly toward Christ-like-ness. Thanks for sharing this!
