Daily Manna, Year Two · Day 300 · October 27
All Things New
“And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.”
You keep a short list of things about yourself that have not moved in ten years. Behold, I make all things new is spoken by him that sat upon the throne, and what is in front of him is a new heaven and a new earth, the first ones passed away, a city coming down, and God moving in among people.
And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful. The dictation is ordered because the words are hard to hold on to, and the one taking them down is on an island for the word of God. One verse earlier the promise is at its plainest: God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain. Your list is not the project. You live in the field that is being made new, and the making is his.
Daily Manna runs on a two-year cycle. The year one reading for day 300 is Joint-Heirs with Christ (Romans 8:16-17).
