A CHURCH FOR YOU

Abiding Yoga - Devotional Thought

Jan 2, 2024

New Perceptions

"We must learn to live each day, each hour, yes, each minute as a new beginning, as a unique opportunity to make everything new. Imagine that we could live each moment as a moment pregnant with new life. Imagine that we could live each day as a day full of promises. Imagine that we could walk through the new year always listening to a voice saying to us: 'I have a gift for you and can't wait for you to see it! Imagine!'"- Henri Nouwen
"Remember not the former things, nor consider the things of old. Behold, I am doing a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it?  I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert."Isaiah 43:19

As we reflect on the new year, let's ask God to perceive the "new thing" He is doing. Whether you are coming into 2024 full of hope, or perhaps you are weighed down by apprehension of the unknown, God invites you to live each moment wrapped in the gift of His love and sovereignty. Yes, there will be wilderness and deserts, but we know that even there, the promises of God never fail. That is the gift that makes our perception new!

Abiding Yoga will be restarting this Saturday morning, 9-10:15am at the Journey Fellowship. Each week we come to our mats asking God for grace to perceive in new ways, in the ways of Jesus.  God is growing a community of ones who choose to intentionally abide with Him and with one another.  You're invited to join us . . .
