“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?'”

Isaiah 43:16-19 (The Message)

 

My dad mentioned this verse as a great one for a new year, and I thought I would share it today. May 2013 be a year when we are able to be alert and present and able to see whatever God is doing.

    Perfect words for a new year…

    ‘Forget about what’s happened; don’t keep going over old history.

    Be alert, be present. I’m about to do something brand-new.

    So true!

    Hi Lisa! I get your posts in email and it’s been TOOOOO long since I’ve stopped by to comment! ack!

    but I had to tell you how much I loved this. The translation I hadn’t read (although I did get through the New Testament in The Message based on your suggestion in 2012). And then these verse for the New Year…I love it.

    What a wise dad you have! Thanks for sharing! {HUGS}

      Thank you Nikki!
      I still get your posts as well, and I’ve been just as remiss in commenting! We should keep in better touch in this new year! 🙂
