DID THE FLASH GO OFF?
Much like faith in a light switch doing its job, hoping to capture an image and wondering "Did the flash go off?" barely takes a moment, but it can give the illumination necessary to preserve an image for a lifetime.
It's a question I heard often at family gatherings - and one I continue to ask regarding my own flashes of brilliance: some underexposed, out of focus or perhaps not that bright after all. But every once in awhile . . . something clicks!
"from your lips to Gods's ears . . ."
It goes deeper than that - always. Like the girl in the old Tom Petty song
who's gonna listen to her heart, God listens, but what He hears clearly is what's
in your heart. His Word is filled with instructions and examples of his interest in
and understanding of your heart. That can be comforting or disturbing.
