Theophanies

Theophanies

Wise men came from the east
They travelled from afar.
They knew the way and where to go –
God led them by a star.

God often sends a messenger
If there’s something to tell,
So shepherds, Joe and Mary
All encountered an angel.

When Herod asked a hard question
His wise men knew to look
For God has often spoken with men
Who put His words in a Book.

When people lay right down to sleep
It may be there’s a theme
To what they see or experience
As God speaks in their dream.

Sometimes it happens when awake,
That God gives you a mission;
You see something that is not there
When God uses a vision.

Now there are times when sight won’t do
And then God makes a choice
From burning bush or empty sky
You just might hear God’s voice.

I have not time to speak of conscience,
Of nature, or of miracles.
Pray God you do not hear an ass
Or see Him writing on the walls!
