Timeless!

Isaiah 43: 18 – 19

"Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past.

See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the desert and streams in the wasteland.”

God loves to do New things for His people, but are we always open to His ideas?

Too often we’re like the children of Israel, when they were traveling toward the promised land.

God provided everything they could ever need.

Bread from Heaven fell 6 days a week—and He said He would take care of them on day seven, if they obeyed and only gathered for 6 days.

When the people disobeyed, the bread turned moldy and got rotten.

At times, I’m a little like the children of Israel.

God wants to do something New and fresh in my life, but I for some reason, prefer holding onto yesterday stale bread.

I’m not always very good at letting go, of the comfortable and the familiar.

I still cling to some of my old ways of thinking, and God is pretty clear that I shouldn’t hold onto the past.

And as a result, I miss the New and exciting, when I don’t fully trust and obey.

One of the best ways to keep things New and fresh, are to be in God’s Word every day.

I spent some time yesterday, with some Godly friends, and I learned something new again, as they expounded on God’s Word.

God’s Word is timeless, and let’s be sure not to forget, that His compassions are New every morning
