Gods Word is always timely. HIS WORD is indeed living and active. -- Perceive, know and give heed Isaiah 43:18-19 (Amplified Bible) Do not [earnestly] remember the former things; neither consider the things of old. Behold, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs forth; do you not perceive and know it and will you not give heed to it? I will even make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert. Concerning the new thing that God is doing and “causing to spring forth”, He asks us to do three things to relate to it: • Perceive it • Know it • Give heed to it Perceive it According to the dictionary, to perceive is to “recognise, discern, envision, or understand”. We need to make sure that we are at a point in our daily spirituality that we are able to sense and perceive what God is doing in a person’s life or any given situation. It would be a shame to miss the wave of something God was doing because our senses, or ability to discern “new things”, were numb - maybe numbed from carnality or distraction. Make sure your “taste buds” for spiritual things are sharp and able to know the flavour of our God doing something new in your day. We need to know it Know when God is bringing a change of season. Jesus said to a crowd, mentioned in the Scripture below, that they knew how to discern natural changes like weather and then He rebuked them for not being able to sense or know when a spiritual change of season was at hand. Let’s make sure we do not fall into the category of the ignorant, but stand with those who can feel the wind of change when it blows. Luke 12:54 (NKJV) He said to the crowd: When you see a cloud rising in the west, immediately you say, Its going to rain, and it does. And when the south wind blows, you say, Its going to be hot, and it is. Hypocrites! You know how to interpret the appearance of the earth and the sky. How is it that you dont know how to interpret this present time? Give heed Finally He wants us to give heed to it – another way of putting that would be to be aware of it or live in accordance with it. Let’s make sure we understand when God is doing something new and that we are passionate to be a part of it, and not bound to a previous moment. Choose to live in accordance with what He is doing today and not just what He has done.
