Something Old, Something New...

Wow...it's been a while since i've posted...it has been quite a journey.  but i don't feel like the same person since the last post...

i'm not sure exactly what He is doing, but more so now than ever, i know that he is working, moving, preparing me for something He wants me to partake in...  The past few days have me almost giddy.  Just in what i've been lead to in His word is enough...

"For I am about to do something new. See, I have already begun!  Do you not see it?" (Isa. 43:19)

"The Lord does not look at the things man looks at.  Man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart." (1 Sam. 16:7)

"The Lord is good to those who depend on Him, to those who search for Him." (Lam. 3:25)

"This is what the Lord says, He who made the earth, the Lord who formed it and established it -- the Lord is His name: Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know." (Jer. 33:2-3)

"For I am doing something in your own day, something you wouldn't believe even if someone told you about it." (Hab. 1:5)

"The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because He has anointed me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to release the oppressed, to proclaim the year of the Lord's favor." (Luke 4:18-19)

What's interesting is that i didn't hunt for these scriptures...they were from others, to me on these days.  What really hits home, though, is where He has put me right now.  My reflections in this week's study:

If you aren’t in the world, you can never have a positive impact on those who are of it. That is my goal…to be the catalyst in the world around me; bring about a change that can’t happen on it’s own; introduce people to a Savior they may never meet otherwise.

My prayer is simply:

“Therefore, walk in the power of the Truth, that the name of the Lord God may be glorified among you, His renown may be see in you and among you, and all the world may be astonished, and the Lord admired in the ordering of His people who are guided by His wisdom.” (1) Not for my glory, but for His Glory!

Which leaves me here...not sure where we are headed, but expecting Him to do something that will glorify Him, that He may be seen by a lost and dying world.

"Yes, Lord, walking in the way of Your Truth, we wait eagerly for You, for Your Name and Your renown are the desire of our souls." (Isa. 26:8)
