Making things New

Making things New

Forget the former things; Now it springs up; do you not perceive it?
I am  making a way in the desert and streams in the wasteland.

Isaiah 43:18

Everyday God is moving and working in your life. Even when you feel like you’re just going through the motions on autopilot, God is still working in the backgroud. The bible tells us that He makes ways in the desert and streams in the wasteland. This means that even in the slowest of times, and even at the worste of times God is doing good in your life.

Our passage today tells us that even at this moment a new spring is springing up in our lives. Do you believe that? Can you perceive it? As long as we are holding on to the things of ourselves, we will never be able to perceive or experience the goodness of God. When we are stuck on the former things, the doors to God’s new things will remain closed. When we close the doors to the former things, God’s door to the new will open wide.

Prayer:
Father, today I will put my entire hope in you. Give me the strength to loosen my grip on my own life so that I can cling on to you once again. Help me close the doors to the things of my past so that you can open new doors
