Something I've Been Pondering... Rejoicing and Riches
In the way of your testimonies I delight as much as in all riches. Psalm 119:14 ESV
Can you remember your last “aha” moment? Where were you? What were you doing? Can you remember what you were struggling with in the moment it came? Where you in a major struggle or just some simple detail that was not working out? Or did it come to you when you were actually occupied with something else? In reality regardless of the surrounding details, the resolution which came in the “aha” brought with it rest. An “aha” moment brings a sense of closure, fulfillment or realization. It’s a relief from the tension created by an unresolved item or frustration in our lives. It is possible that the tension has been a frequent experience due to repeated failures. But the joy or contentment we feel as our understanding is enlightened and our dilemma resolved is awesome, even when simple things are settled we sense joy in that moment.
