Looking Forward

I don’t know about you but I spend way too much time thinking about the past. Many hours spent daydreaming about the “good ole days,” possibly even more hours wallowing in regret. It is especially during the times we’re living in that there’s a lot of us (myself included) longing for things to be as they once were.

Is it possible for us to be grateful for things happening in the present? Can we be hopeful for what’s to come without just waiting for it to “go back to normal?” More importantly, is our faith still in the sovereignty of God? 

Here’s a passage from the book of Isaiah that I hope gives you encouragement:

“Remember not the former things,

    nor consider the things of old.

Behold, I am doing a new thing;

    now it springs forth, do you not perceive it?

I will make a way in the wilderness

    and rivers in the desert.”

-Isaiah 43:18-19

I don’t know about you but I’m looking forward to what God is doing new.

Grace and Peace
