Isaiah 43:19 Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert.
Malachi 2:6a For I am the LORD, I change not;
While God’s nature and motives do not change, His methods do. We were not part of the old ways, but a record of God’s methods of dealing with His creation are well documented. Perhaps because we are so far removed from those methods we do not have a firm grip on the importance, the necessity.
The power prophets wielded enormous power. Look to the scriptures about Elijah and Elisha to see the power of God put in the hands of those men. Who today could be trusted to wield such power?
The leader prophets inspired men into action to serve the will of God. Look to the scripture about Nehemiah and Gideon to see how God used them to shape a nation.
The seeing prophets foretold of thing that have come to past and things that will be done. Daniel, Isaiah, Ezekiel have words that are rich with hope and meaning. Mysteries abound and we have been given the keys to unlocking them.
Yet the greatest change came at the Cross. The Cross is the great turning point from the old way to the new way. The new thing God does now is in us. We look to the hope of God’s promises that are fulfilled in us. At the same time God’s placed His hope in us that we will be that new thing He does according to Isaiah 43:19.
John 7:38 He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.
Let it flow.

Psalms 73:26 My flesh and my heart faileth: but God is the strength of my heart, and my portion for ever.

OK, lost connection with DSL this morning. I am more than a little frustrated with being disconnected from my access to the internet. I have to have connection to put out my blog daily. Any number of things can interfere with that connection. Equipment failure, loss of electricity, cut cable to the local hub, and we even lost connection from a squirrel eating the insulation at the pole.

There are many things to check when this disconnect occurs. If we as believers lose our connection to God, to the Spirit, then there is nothing to blame but ourselves. Our flesh and our hearts fail, it is never anything outside of own control. The problem is with us.

The same thing happens with connecting with God as with the DSL, you do not know there is a connection problem unless you attempt to log on. With the DSL it becomes very obvious that there is a problem, a pop up screen says, “No connection found”.

What does it look like when you have lost connection with God? What does your connection usually look like? How do you know when you are plugged in? What do you try to make connection? What self-tests do you attempt to discover the problem?

How long does it take you to go back into the service manual and search for an answer?

2 Timothy 3:16 (ip) All scripture is given ….. for instruction…
