Begin Again With God

Scripture — Isaiah 43:19 (NABRE)

“See, I am doing something new!
Now it springs forth, do you not perceive it?
In the wilderness I make a way,
in the wasteland, rivers.”

Reflection

There is something beautiful about beginning a new month with Sunday.

Sunday calls us back to God. It reminds us that before we begin another week, make another plan, face another problem, or carry another responsibility, we belong to Him.

“Surrounded by Your glory, what will my heart feel?
Will I dance for You Jesus or in awe of You be still?
Will I stand in Your presence or to my knees will I fall?

Who, though He was in
the form of God, did not regard equality
with God something
to be grasped.
Rather, He emptied Himself,
taking the form of a slave,
coming in human likeness;
and found human in
appearance,
He humbled Himself,
becoming obedient to death,
even death on a cross.
Because of this, God
greatly exalted Himself
and bestowed on Him
