“Do not remember the past events; pay no attention to things of old. Look, I am about to do something new; even now it is coming. Do you not see it? Indeed, I will make a way in the wilderness, rivers in the desert.”
Isaiah 43:18-19, CSB
We are called to be priests under our High Priest, which is different from the Mosaic Covenant. By Christ’s redemptive work, all whose faith is in that work is made a priest to share the gospel of Christ and help each other grow closer to Him.
“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 43:18-19, ESV
The Light of world came to us to establish a new covenant, sacrificing Himself for our salvation and rising again for our hope. Now He dwells in and through us to shine His goodness in this dark and crazy world.
Normally, I have a new picture of my wife and me from the past 48 hours before this post.
2009 – Ireland
Unfortunately, my wonderful wife of 13 years today has had to deal with an old man, as I threw out my back this last week and spent most of the time in bed or my recliner.
While I am quickly on the mend (relatively speaking), my wonderful wife has had to take care of me quite a bit. She has done well covering some of the “for worse” and usually having a smile.
Therefore, as June 13 comes along with our 13th anniversary, it feels a little like I prematurely entered my golden years. 🙃
Fortunately, we have made it 13 years, mostly having fun, relying on God, and loving each other.
I am so grateful for the gift God has given me in Mrs. Klem. She sometimes claims I am the better half, but I can attest (on my completely unbiased blog) that she is the better half.
Thank you for joining me on this journey, my love, and I pray the next 13 years are as good together (or better) as the first 13, Lord willing and unless Christ returns!
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come. 2 Corinthians 5:17, ESV
The new has come already, yet we await what we do not yet have. We have hope in Christ that our renewed souls will be joined with our Glorified bodies in eternity.
Do we truly love the Lord our God with all our hearts, souls, minds, and strengths? Maybe I can help with the mind part, at least! This is Daniel M. Klem, apparent poet, reluctant yet passionate Disciple (Peter?), and foolish man attempting to understand theology!
