The Lord Be With You Today!
Isaiah 65:17
"See, I will create new heavens and a new earth.
(The Lord reminds us today that He continues to unfold His plan,
first as a covenant with Adam
that He would provide deliverance for him and his offspring,
then progressing down through the covenants He made
with Noah, Abraham, Moses, and David,
and culminating in the crowing glory
of His covenant of salvation through His Son Jesus.
He says the future of this planet earth and universe surrounding it
will be something completely new, something we have not seen before,
a reality that has already unfolded through the salvation of Christ.
For right now, the point of this truth
is that, as His covenant continues to unfold today,
He creates newness in the expanse of our lives,
that whatever has been will become new,
that the old will become new,
that He Who is God will create a new dwelling for us,
a new life, a new hope, a new plan, a new direction,
and we can rejoice in the fact that He has that plan for us even today.)
The former things will not be remembered,
nor will they come to mind.
(The Lord's change is so dramatic, so complete, so total,
that the past, the present dynamics, what seemed impossible,
what seemed unattainable, will be so far from our reality in Him
that we won't even recall the desperation and aimlessness
we once might have felt.
Now, as our focus centers on Him,
as He fills our vision with His presence, His strength, His provision,
all else fades from our eyes and from our thoughts.
We are filled with Him as we look to Him today.)
May the Lord richly bless you this day!
In Christ's love,
Blessings!
