During July, I am rerunning four blogs from the past year. I hope you enjoy a second serving from some of my favorites.
The 20th century psychologist, Carl Jung, coined the word, “synchronicity.” The term refers to “meaningful coincidences” in life. An individual experiences profound significance in seemingly random events.
For example, I recently wrote a pastoral letter that highlighted Jesus’ words in Matthew 11:28, “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” The following Sunday’s anthem planned weeks ahead of time by the music team echoed the same passage. The next week a devotional from another source quoted the verse.
The world might call this happenstance. However, Christians experience a spiritual synchronicity that sees divine meaning in worldly coincidence. The Holy Spirit wanted to impress Christ’s words upon my heart.
“God-winks” occur on a daily basis for those with eyes to see and ears to hear. However, we are a goal-oriented people who have no time to turn aside for burning bushes. The tyranny of the immediate blinds and deafens us to theophanies along the way.
In John 12, Jesus called out to God, and the Lord answered. Some said they heard an angel speak. Others said it had thundered. The crowd experienced the same event in two radically different ways.
Pay close attention to the coincidences of life. We might just spy the Holy Spirit hovering in the wings.

We seem to experience “God Winks” every so often that mean a lot to us. Makes us feel that God is with us every second, knows what goes on in each person’s life, appreciates our prayers, and answers our prayers according to His will. It is such a blessing when you put it all together and give Him glory and honor when you realize He knows us all personally!
