Coming up to the new year, and I'm actually taking the whole thing seriously this time around. I really do have this sense of something new beginning in my life. "Look, I am doing a new thing! Do you not see it?" These are words that God spoke to Isaiah, and Isaiah to Israel (43:19), and I'm taking them seriously for my own life. The imperative here is, Look! And I intend to.

In the meantime, I pray for many of God's new things for you, too. Amen.
