Can you feel it? ☀️

“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 wilderness and streams in the wasteland. The wild animals honor me, the jackals and the owls, because I provide water in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland, to give drink to my people, my chosen, the people I formed for myself that they may proclaim my praise.”

‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭43‬:‭18‬-‭21‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Can you feel it too?

Lately I find myself daydreaming about other places, of being in different spaces in other time zones, and thinking of being away from here and now. Although not bad feelings, to escape what I'm feeling, now.

It's uncomfortable.

Maybe I've been anxious about what is to come and looking eagerly towards where I want to be. Yes, there’s no crime in being excited about the future and having aspirations. I believe that there should always be a level of earnest expectation for the wonderful things that we have come to understand as promises and God given ambitions. I believe that those desires are the things that propel us deep into our purpose.

Yet, there’s this agitating urge /tendency to become consumed in those moments which can cause us to tread the line of obsession -wanting to hurry up and do something (or be antsy)- and ultimately become distracted from The Source.

What if those are the exact moments where He wants us to sit with our anxieties about those things before Him?

Some of us are about to come out of some things that has had us confined for a very long time. I keep saying this, but now is not a time to be distracted. Maybe you can sense it too and find yourself feeling the need to just move around and do something.

As we acknowledge how fragile, yet pivotal seeing things come to fruition and starting anew in the things that we only saw in our hearts and minds is, let's find quietude and do all that we can to separate ourselves from the racket of distractions.

“Therefore, Come out from them and be separate, says the Lord. Touch no unclean thing, and I will receive you.”

‭‭2 Corinthians‬ ‭6‬:‭17‬ ‭NIV‬‬

God is guiding us into better ways and more fruitful life. Let's ask Him how we can better manage that as we walk into it. Remember, it's going to be beautiful and better than what we've seen before.

"But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness and these things will be given to you as well."

Matthew 6:33 NIV

Happy Candle Lit Friday, friends 🕯️☀️
