Isaiah 43:18 NIV — 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?

We must not dwell on our past, nor our current situations. However, when it rains it pours. The same day I threw my leaky coffee pot out, my Keurig needed cleaning and refused to work. No problem, I have a spare coffee pot! Yet, I had no filters. This is when coffee desperation kicks in. A tip from a professional coffee drinker, a folded paper towel makes a fabulous filter in a pinch. If only you could be an ant to be a witness in this scene.

I knew that God was trying to get my attention. Remember, I shared on Sunday that I had been letting negativity consume me. I know in this season, God wants me to keep moving forward, not allowing Satan’s schemes to thwart me. God doesn’t want us to dwell, but rather slow down, evaluate and execute. We can’t help but to laugh at His sense of humor along the way. 

Let’s pray. Dear God, Thank you for making me laugh. Help me not to dwell on my past or my present situation. Show me how to positively move forward with Your strength, love and joy. In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.
