In the Isaiah reading of Sunday’s lectionary, we read… “Do not remember the former things, or consider the things of old. I am about to do a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it?”
It seems to me that church people can get so busy looking backwards that they do not perceive the new things God is going to do. May God give us grace to recognise it when God is doing a new thing … and join in if possible…
