As I mention in an earlier post, I am often tempted to recount the dramatic and amazing things God had done for me in the past, the dreams, premonitions, and visions. Those powerful events have tapered off, replaced by more subtle interactions. I’ve wondered why.
Our Daily Bread meditation for March 13 gave me some
insight into the change.
God wants us to recall the former, but He doesn’t want it
overshadowing his current involvement in our lives. “See, I am doing a new
thing. Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a new way in the
wilderness.” Isaiah 43:19.
My faith is stronger, deeper, and God no longer needs to
orchestrate the theatrical to get my attention or bolster my beliefs.
The same can be said of prior pleasures, mistakes, or pain, remembered on occasion, but not relived.
Today is
a new day. God is doing new things.
Dear Lord, thank you for your divine intercessions, the
subtle and the not so subtle. They draw me closer to you. Amen.
