Episode 83: Future & Newness

Today's meditation is on the future and newness

I have a vision for my future. It is clearly written down. And although it has not become manifest in my life yet, I know that it will surely come in its appointed time. 

God's plans for me are for good and not evil. He gives me a future and a hope. I have committed my work to the Lord, and he will establish my plans. I seek his Kingdom and his righteousness first, and I know that everything else will be added to me. 

I am not envious of others, but trust in the Lord and do good. I take delight in him, and he gives me the desires of my heart. I commit my way to him and trust in him, and he makes my righteous reward shine like the dawn.

So I am strong and courageous. I do not fear, because the Lord my God goes with me. He will not leave me or forsake me. And if God is for me, who can be against me? I can do all things through him, because he strengthens me with his strength. I have put on the new self which is being renewed in knowledge after the image of my Creator. Because I am in Christ, the new creation has come: The old is gone and the new is here!

I don't dwell on the past. Forgetting what is behind, I strain toward what is ahead and press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me in Christ Jesus. I am watchful and stand firm in the faith. God is doing a new thing. I see it springing up all around me. He is making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland.

Until next time, be blessed and be a blessing.
