Today begins a week of prayerful expectation for me. God is doing new things, and I am excited about what He is doing!
In God's Word we have numerous examples of God doing new things with His people. What I love about the Lord is that He always finds new ways to prove His power, might, and sovereignty.
He chose to bless Abraham with his promised heir long after Sarah was past childbearing age. He led Israel out of bondage by splitting apart an entire sea! The Lord brought them into the Promised Land by having their shouts of praise crumble walls that were wide enough for houses to be built within!
God did something new when He caused fire to come down to consume Elijah's sacrifice in the face of the evil priests of the idol Baal. God showed His strength and power through His judge Samson who was able to carry city gates on his back.
The Lord did something new when He performed the miraculous conception of Jesus in the womb of the virgin Mary. The entire life of Jesus accentuated that God was doing a new thing: the sick were healed, demons were driven out, people were restored, and the Kingdom of God was preached to those who had never heard about it.
Our God loves to do new things.
What new thing is the Lord doing in your life? Don't allow the unfamiliarity of something new to cause you to miss out on how God's trying to bless you! Let the Lord have His way any way He sees fit. Whatever He tells you to do, wherever He tells you to go, make sure you follow! Your something new is at the end of your journey.
One thing is guaranteed: God's new thing is always better than the old thing.
Verse of the Day: Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert. Isaiah 43:19
