Quote for the day: "If you are not right with God, you can never turn your mind anywhere but on yourself". Oswald Chambers
Verse for the day: "Look, I am making everything new" Revelation 21:7
Thought for the day:
Look... we rarely do that. We see, but we don't look. Look means behold, watch attentively, pay attention, wait to see.
Waiting is now a rare and vanishing art. In this day of nanosecond technology, we want our answers and our results yesterday. We used to have dial up internet here in Manali. Now broadband has been a luxury for years. Even so, when it is slow, we feel our frustration rising. God requires us to still our souls and be able to wait in quietness.
It is he who is making things new. We struggle and strain at the oars, pushing and shoving at the incessant waves, inheriting the wind. Far easier for us to pull with the tide of his purpose. But for that we have to first realise and know the flow of that tide.
Newness is from his perspective, one that we will never quite be able to fathom or imagine. Far beyond our conception or imagination are his thoughts. But as the sun rises over the mountains, and one only sees the brilliance fill the sky, it suddenly breaks out after creating a million myriad shadows.
In the shadows is the promise of newness.
