Moment of Clarity
Acts 11: 4 But Peter explained it to
them in order from the beginning, saying: 5 “I was in the city of Joppa praying; and
in a trance I saw a vision, an object descending like a great sheet, let down
from heaven by four corners; and it came to me. 6 When I observed it intently and
considered, I saw four-footed animals of the earth, wild beasts, creeping
things, and birds of the air. 7 And
I heard a voice saying to me, ‘Rise, Peter; kill and eat.’ 8 But I said, ‘Not so, Lord! For nothing
common or unclean has at any time entered my mouth.’ 9 But the voice answered me again from
heaven, ‘What God has cleansed you must not call common.’

“You
got it! Said the math teacher to me. I understood what was being said and I was
able to explain it back to the teacher, clearly. I understood the principle and
could apply the concept.
- There have been times when I understood something at a certain moment.
- There have been times when I got it after putting the pieces together.
- There have been times when I could point to the moment of clarity after wrestling with something.
Peter
explains a very strange vision. For years he had been taught one way but was
told to do something that seemed opposite. He was told to eat some very strange
animals and insects which would make him ritually unclean. BUT GOD explained the
concept of clean to him.
- GOD wants me to seek HIM so HE can provide clarity.
- GOD wants me to listen to HIM so HE can teach me.
- GOD wants me to study HIS ways so HE can correct my broken thinking about HIM.
All
of heaven rejoices when one human has a moment of clarity regarding the belief
in JESUS as the Savior. GOD loves when I look for HIM and find HIM sitting
right next to me, never having left to go anywhere. This moment of clarity grows
my faith in HIM and builds my trust. I am grateful GOD provides clarity in my
purpose for HIM.
- Are you confused right now?
- Do you spend most of your time talking about someone else, never talking about your relationship with GOD?
- Will you ask GOD for a moment of clarity for your purpose?
