"Forget about what's happened; don't keep going over old history. Be alert, be present. I'm about to do something brand new." Isaiah 43:18-19
A sabbatical is a time of open space to approach God with open hands and heart and say, "God, renew me; speak to me; prepare my heart for new things You want to do in my heart and in my ministry."
God is a God of new things.
We can be sure that God will respond if we express that desire to him, if we are still and listen to him, and if we are sensitive to his will and want to find his best for us.
Psalm 98:1
"Sing a new song to the Lord, for he has done wonderful deeds."
God wants new songs because they arise out of new experiences, new ways in which God has recently revealed himself in our lives.
He's the God who is doing some amazing things now! He simply wants us to come to Him and ask for new times of refreshing.
If you are willing to ask, He is willing to answer.
Isaiah 43:1
"Do not fear, for I have redeemed you; I have summoned you by name; you are mine."
