Isaiah 65
See, I will create new heavens and a new earth. The former things will not be remembered, nor will they come to mind. v17
Our God gives us many, many second chances, as he is a patient God. Yet God's patience is not unlimited. God will judge all of us - this should gives all of us urgency to live for God. For those who live for God, there is hope and a glimpse of the end of times where we will experience a new heaven and new earth. See also Revelation 21. Among the great promises from God for those who remain faithful:
He will provide (v13)
He will give us joy (v14, 18)
He will forgive all of our sins (v16, 17)
No more weeping or crying (v19)
Great promises indeed.
We must live with an eternal focus.
My Prayer: Lord Jesus, You are an awesome God who loves me and whose promises always come true - a faithful God indeed! Thank You Jesus. I am not worth such a God as I worry. Please forgive me Jesus and help me overcome and turn from my sin towards You. Help me love You with all of my heart, soul, and mind and love others as You do. Help me grow in my faith. Give Lisa and myself wisdom and strength. Please heal Lisa of her cancer and from the side effects of chemo. Help us lead Zach and Dustin to You Jesus and for them to choose You as their Lord and Savior. Please provide Godly friends and spouses to Zach and Dustin. Help me serve You, my family, my church, and others. Help me understand, be obedient to, and apply Your message for me today and every day.
