Each day I endeavor to read scriptures and/or the devotionals from www.crosswalk.com A few moments ago I scrolled to the bottom of the home page and read the POWER VERSES for today. Both are definitely powerful. After reading the scriptures then I went to www.biblegateway.com as I normally do for some Bible reading. Tonight I decided to read one of the power verses from crosswalk. I thought it would be interesting to read different translations of the verse. Check out this powerful verse:
Isaiah 43:16-21 (The Msg) This is what God says,
the God who builds a road right through the ocean,
who carves a path through pounding waves,
The God who summons horses and chariots and armies—
they lie down and then can't get up;
they're snuffed out like so many candles:"Forget about what's happened;
don't keep going over old history.
Be alert, be present. I'm about to do something brand-new.
It's bursting out! Don't you see it?
There it is! I'm making a road through the desert, rivers in the badlands.
Wild animals will say 'Thank you!' —the coyotes and the buzzards—
Because I provided water in the desert, rivers through the sun-baked earth,
Drinking water for the people I chose,
the people I made especially for myself,
a people custom-made to praise me.
How powerful to be reminded that we were made especially for God! My previous post today I refered to being alert or sensitive to know when evil comes but I want to be alert and present because God is about to do something brand-new!!!! This week CUPC is hosting a Parent's Day inviting all of our bus children's parents to church Sunday. I am alert and expecting GREAT things.

I needed this passage of scripture today. God is doing a new thing in my family, and I have to trust and "forget about what's happened; (stop) going over old history". God is so good to gently nudge me along the right path. Thanks for posting this.
