43:18 “Forget the former things;
do not dwell on the past.
19 See, I am doing a new thing!
Now it springs up; do you not perceive it?
I am making a way in the wilderness
and streams in the wasteland.
As I read this I was thinking I should have my eyes open for the new things God is doing today in my life. Not that we shouldn't study the old things he has done and we have documented. But God is active today not just in bible times. Yet I think lately I haven't been thinking about what is God doing in my life. Back when we were teenagers and even moving forward when I was in many small groups that would be a discussion item. Gina and I aren't in any small groups anymore, so I think I fail to take time to reflect. I certainly don't feel like I'm having that conversation with God in prayer. To be honest I feel like I've regressed. Not in my faith, it is as strong as ever but in being intentional about seeking God's actions and direction in my life everyday.
definitely not what was getting the first pass through these chapters. I wasn't getting much. Is this right now God putting this in my mind asking me to to interact with him?

I would say that is God putting that in your head because either you need to hear it, or I do. We are in this together. I have had times when I am actively looking for God in my daily life. Looking for opportunities to be his hands and feet. But, not lately. I think I've been in survivor mode for a couple of years.
ReplyDeleteEven though life gets crazy, and we think we need to be there to control everything...we don't. Looking for his guidance would be MUCH better.
