this morning i experienced another, what i call for want of a better term, a spiritual brainstorm. sometimes they are brief and enable my hidden heart gates to swing open and weep in love for such a savior. often they go on for hours (like today) and very occasionally they have gone on for days on end. they are most usually spiritual or are becoming more so, maybe, over time. they 'look like' or are experienced as 'cascading thoughts'
as often, when this occurs, i have the desire to share the overflow and called my son. when mentioning spiritual brainstorm...a term i rarely use in conversation...he knew it was a propensity that my blessed mother had and he knew that it consisted of a flow of very distinct thoughts of an unusual nature. but he had never, evidently, been made aware by me that it is of a spiritual nature. today as we were talking and i was attempting to briefly tell him what God gave me for him (didn't make it..intro too long..5 minutes i gave myself was up...i have it down to share sunday when i visit silas and spend some time with the family) the thought came for the first time that this reminded me of jacobs ladder.
i have always wondered about the significance, beyond the obvious fact that God was manifesting Himself to jacob, that jacob's ladder has. messangers (the meaning of 'angel) coming down from God to jacob. (i am moved right now to try and see what the commentators say this evening...maybe God is trying to tell me something more..) but i am still awash and in a heightened state of closeness to God as a result of all the messengers he cascaded onto the little eating table i sat at 'receiving', weeping, glorying in Him this morning. i can't wait to be with Him...forever..
