All things new...

I love new, don't you? There is something about new that just absolutely exhilarates us. New clothes...awesome. New furniture...terrific. New car...oh, don't get me started. And here we are, right at the beginning of some new. New year, new decade. Wow. So why are so many going to end up at the end of this year exactly where they were in 2009 and every year before that?
In Isaiah 43:18,19, the bible says that God is doing something new. That's awesome isn't it? I mean God is always doing something new! But often enough we just don't get it. We miss God's "new". God even asks in verse 19 if we are aware enough to see His "new".
2010 is only 6 days old. For many, the new is already gone. For many, slipping back into the past has occurred or is occurring slowly but surely. But, that doesn't have to happen. God says that He will make a "...roadway in the wilderness..." and "...rivers in the desert." We just have to be aware and stand on His word that He "will do something new."
So...how 'bout it...are you ready for something new? This decade, this year...this day, allow God to do a new thing in your life...stop looking back into and living in the past...after all...isn't new amazing?
