Don’t Keep Going Over Old History

MARTY GABLER—This is directly from the Word of God and is a great consideration for going on in to a new year.  Isa.43:16,18-19,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 sunbaked earth, Drinking water for the people I chose, the people I made especially for myself, a people custom-made to praise me’.”


Next Stage, Next Phase

In speaking of Getting Ready for the Next Level it would behoove us to consider some basic meaning in that title. NEXT LEVEL: next step, next move, following step, what follows, next on the list, next stage, next phase, what comes next, follow-up, further action, future action, next in order. Getting Ready: Faith, stepping out, moving toward (not satisfied with status quo, with where we are, with just letting things bump along as is), not the same old attitude; not staying in the same rut. Ex.14:13-16,Amp—“Moses told the people, Fear not; stand still (firm, confident, undismayed) and see the salvation of the Lord which He will work for you today. For the Egyptians you have seen today you shall never see again. 14 The Lord will fight for you, and you shall hold your peace and remain at rest. 15 The Lord said to Moses, Why do you cry to Me? Tell the people of Israel to go forward!”  The time is ripe for going forward to the next level, to that which beckons us onward to victory.

Purposes of God Still Going Forward

GroupPointingAhead.jpgNothing of the purposes of God has been recalled or changed no matter what current events threaten or what predictions are being made. We are still supporting missions, buying equipment and investing in lives and planning for the future. If there are new problems to deal with now, that must mean that there are new solutions. It is not time to stop. “Speak to Israel that they go forward” (Ex 14:15).
