Be Present

"Forget about what's happened, 
don't keep going over old history.
Be alert, be present.
I'm about to do something brand new.
There it is!
It's making a road through the desert, 
rivers in the badlands."
Isaiah 43:18-19
The Message

Am I the only one who keeps going over old history?
Forget about what's happened. Seriously?
A gentle reminder specifically for me. Seriously.
Be alert.
Focus.
Be present.
Forget the past.
Enjoy the view.
A new thing!
It's been promised.
Believe it.

  1. It's been a year of learning how to see what God's "new thing" is in our life and to quit going over and over old history. Thanks for the encouragement today.
