A few months ago I was in the kitchen washing dishes.
I heard my daughter moving around in the adjacent room and I called out to her to back up from the television.
She said: ‘Dad how did you know what I was doing without looking at me?’
I promptly quipped: ‘I have eyes in the back of my head’.
A few days later we were riding in the car and my daughter asked me to look at something.
I told her that I was driving and I couldn’t look at her at the moment.
Then she slyly asked: ‘Daddy, I thought you had eyes in the back of your head’?
In Isaiah 43:18-19, God speaks through Isaiah and makes a proclamation about what Israel can look forward to in their future:
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.
You can’t always see what God is doing, but He is always working, doing a new thing.
Prayer: Lord we celebrate You and all of the wonders You are doing and have done. Let us not focus on the past and realize that You are moving us forward each day to accomplish Your will.
Action: Today is a new day! Spend a quiet moment and listen for God’s voice. Do you not perceive it?
