2008

January 2008

"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." Isaiah 43:18-19

2007 is gone, finished, past. We can't reclaim it or undo it. We can't rest on the things it brought us or dwell on the things it didn't. 2008 is a new start, a new opportunity, so let's grab hold & do something with it. Let's boldly run forward, knowing that God already inhabits the future and promises to provide for us.

Lord God, please help me learn from my mistakes, but not dwell on them. Please help me not rest on my accomplishments from this past year, but use them to further your work in and through me. Please wash off the past & lead me in your paths, helping me see your mighty works this next year. Show me your glory. I deserve nothing, yet you give me everything. Thank you for my many blessings & your unconditional love. I can't wait for this year. In Jesus' holy name, Amen.
