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 8
Think.
Would you say you are living more
of a bios life (just getting by day to day) or a zoe life (an eternal quality
of life in the here and now)?
Journal.
What is it about the quality of
your life that you wish were different? Describe what it is about zoe
(described in chapter 7) that you wish you had.
Pray.
“God, if you are real, make yourself real to me. Awaken in me the
possibility that with you I could start over again.”
