Multi-tasking or Just Avoiding Work?

A New Thing

Unknown One of the things I did over the Christmas break was to watch the second of the Narnia films, "Prince Caspian". I enjoyed it though it was not as good as the "The Lion, The Witch & The Wardrobe" and I have it on good authority that "The Voyage of The Dawn Treader" is better. Aslan does not appear in it that much but one thing he say to Lucy is repeated. He says "Things never happen the same way twice, dear one"

 At the beginning of a new year it often a time not just for looking forward but also for looking back. I know from experience, as we get older, the temptation to do this grows! So often we hanker after things of the past or resist change. Some people risk averse and prefer the status quo, this seems to me to be contrary to the life of a disciple of Jesus.

In Isaiah 43:18-19 God declares "Forget the Former Things, do not dwell on the past, See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you  not perceive it? I am making a way in the desert & streams in the wasteland."

He is the God of new beginnings. In 2 Corinthians 5:17 it says "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!" The option of not changing isn't given. Those who know Christ have changed and will go on changing as they increase from glory to glory (2:Cor 3:18)

Sometimes it might be our desire that things should stay the same, but it is not His! As we look forward there is much to be done and it will not be achieved by business as usual. Therefore embrace God given change and get on with the task He has called you to. God wants to change you and through you His world. Plenty to be getting on with then......
