Ponder This

Do not call to mind former things,

Or ponder things of the past.

Behold I will do something new,

Now it will spring forth;

Will you not be aware of it?

I will make a roadway in the wilderness,

Rivers in the desert.

Psalm 43:18-19

It is the end of the year and I know some people like to ponder the past year and reflect on what happened.

Not me.  I am ready to think about what will happen next.  What is God’s next great surprise? 

A rear view mirror is just that a rear view.  Instead of staring down the past, let us greet the New Year with anticipation and open minds and hearts and willing hands to serve God.

No matter what is in the past or what the future holds, God is with us.
