Opus 2026-102: Where did that Come From?

Every once in a while, I get these connections in my head.  I would call them in inspirations, but that seems a bit arrogant and presumptive, so we’ll just go with connections for today.

I was sitting in my comfortable chair with a cup of coffee and meditating on the glory of God and thinking about the blessings I had.  Nothing new there.  I’m sure you’ve been there.  And one of the thoughts that came from my mind was the previous Friday morning when my grandchildren were spending the night with us, and they both ended up on my lap in my chair, in the dark and for a brief time they were both just cuddled there.  I remember the glorious feeling and the overwhelming sense of joy that were brought by those moments.  I remember thanking God for it and if they hadn’t been quiet, I would’ve felt like shouting.

A time of blessing.

The connection came this morning as I was sitting here thinking about that, and the thought came to me that I wonder if me sitting in this chair, quietly meditating on the glory of God, is a similar experience for God himself as His immature, undeveloped child is sitting in His lap in comfort and security with a sense that His arms were wrapped around me.  I don’t know if that gives you the concept, but I was in a sense seeing my grandchildren, quietly immersed in the security of my arms, sitting on my lap and I was quietly immersed in the security of God’s arms sitting in my chair.

It was a glorious moment.  I plan on reliving that in my memory and re-experiencing it in my daily walk on a regular basis.  I hope you can experience the same kind of joy.
