Isaiah 42:18-19
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 desert
and streams in the wasteland.
I was reminded of this scripture this morning for our youth ministry. This section of scripture pictures a new season for the Israelites. For they had been slaves in Egypt and would cry out to God, and again He would deliver them.
God is doing a new thing in His church. Do you know what He is doing?
As we embark on a new year I believe God is stirring amazing things within our hearts. At the same time lets, as this scripture instructs us, not live in the past. We can often be caught up with past victories or even prior failures and forget that we live in present. The reason why many people can’t move forward is because they are stuck with something in their past. Don’t allow it obstruct the new thing God is doing in your life.
Repentance is the key to ignite our lives to move from our past into God’s future. Let be quick to sort out our affairs before God. If there are things we need to confess before the Lord, things that we need to ask forgiveness for, or situations we need to turn away from, lets do it!
Secondly, we are instructed to perceive what God is doing. If we see as God sees, we can do as God does. The key to seeing as God sees, is our relationship with Him. How can you see the point of view of someone without truly knowing them. See, the more you know someone, the more you will know their thoughts, know their heart and know their actions.
As we are at the beginning of great things this year and on the last few weeks of the holidays, lets make sure that we start and continue 2009 with seeking the face of God. You know, before an areoplane can get into the air it must have a good take-off. If we are to soar into God’s purposes for us this year, we must start with seeking Him. If it is going to involve Him, it must certainly begin with Him.
We are up for some really exciting things. Let us move with the Mover!
