" But forget the former things; do not dwell in the past -- it is nothing compared to what I am going to do. For I am about to do something new. See, I have already begun! Do you not see it?" -Isaiah 43:18 (NLT emphasis added)
"If He did it before, He will do it again. Same God right now. Same God back then." These are the lyrics from the chorus of one of my favorite songs of 2013 (Tye Tribbett's Same God). But those lyrics will have to be remixed in 2014 because God is about to blow our minds.
The lyrics are absolutely true, but we dwell so much on what God did in the past that we start to put Him in a box. We limit what God can do because we pray small prayers. We think low, even when we try to think high. God thinks above and beyond our thoughts. God does miracles.
You dream, "God will give me money to pay off my students loans."
God dreams, "I will make her student loan debt disappear."
You dream, "God will get this Obamacare web site to work for me so I can get health insurance to buy my blood pressure medicine."
God dreams, "I will remove high blood pressure from him, his children, and his children's children so there will be no need for the medicine."
You dream, "I will get an entry level position at the IT company of my choice."
God dreams, " I will help her open her own IT company that will help local businesses in her area."
Our prayers are so small in comparison to what God really wants to do for us. God wants to do a new thing in 2014. His new thing is stifled by our small imaginations. Don't put God in a box. Get ready for His new thing. It has already begun and if you aren't watching you will miss it.
