"In this season, we spend a lot of time congratulating others on their
graduations, or their upcoming jobs or their new marriages. That's all
lovely, but there are times when, while genuinely glad for others, we
feel a bit mired in our daily muck, wondering if there is anything new
and exciting in store for us, or whether the favors of the Lord have
perhaps gone exhausted, our own prospects being over and done.
"Such thoughts are not unnatural or blameworthy at all, but for those of
us who are not at this moment standing on the precipice of a clear new
beginning, I would nevertheless like to offer an encouraging word in
season (Prv 15:23), one that starts with a truth too rarely considered:
We, all of us, are actually standing at new thresholds all the time if
we're permitting ourselves to dream, and to believe in God's promises."
In a recent commentary, writer Elizabeth Scalia reflected on how the God-given gifts we have received are never revoked and cannot be suppressed.
