just a thought by coppi


“Leave the irreparable past in His hands, and step out into the irresistible future with Him.” – Oswald Chambers.

18 “Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. 

19 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”.  Isaiah 43:18-19

“I will make your crooked path straight” – I heard that expression very clearly when I awakened yesterday morning.   I  got out of bed, knelt beside the bed, and repeated what I heard, and said “I will to do thy will”.   I am not a theologian, nor am I without  “crooked paths”, I am just a sojourner following Jesus.  In these crooked paths there are lots of rocks and debris that cause pain , but the lush-green meadows quickly become an antibiotic for healing my wounds of anxiety.   

“Every valley shall be filled and every mountain and hill brought low; The crooked places shall be made straight And the rough ways smooth; And all flesh shall see the salvation of God”.

For the LORD my God is living in me.    He is a Mighty God. He rejoices over me with gladness, He calms all my fears with his love, and He will rejoice over me with glad songs.   And, He will make my crooked paths crossable – He does things that way, and I trust him with my heart and soul.
