"Behold, the former things have come to pass, Now I declare new things;
Before they spring forth I proclaim them to you."
This verse stuck out to me a couple weeks ago when it was read in our first staff meeting with our new senior pastor, Paul Gravley. I remember this verse and was reminded of the time before when I heard this verse. I remember hearing a sermon on it a few years back, I'm assuming I heard it in Gainesville but I'm not sure. Interesting how perspective can change over just a few years. To me this verse reminds me of how God is in control of past, present, and future. We must use the past (our mistakes and successes), in the present, for a better future. And out of that knowledge new things will "spring forth" and take us to where God wants us to go. We must put our trust and our plans and our life in His hands. Here's to new things.
