AWAKENING TO REGRET
This is what the LORD says— he who made a way through the sea, a path through the mighty waters, who drew out the chariots and horses, the army and reinforcements together, and they lay there, never to rise again, extinguished, snuffed out like a wick: “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. The wild animals honor me, the jackals and the owls, because I provide water in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland, to give drink to my people, my chosen, the people I formed for myself that they may proclaim my praise.
— Isaiah 43: 16– 21
Day 11
Think.
What do you think the turnaround
of repentance would mean for you (see chapter 8)?
Journal.
If you want a new start in life,
what do you need to turn from? To whom would you turn? How would you go about
making the radical turnaround of repentance? Write about these things.
Pray.
“God, if you are real, make yourself real to me. Awaken in me the
possibility that with you I could start over again.”
