A New Thing

"Remember ye not the former things, neither consider the things of old.
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 43:18-19 (KJV)

 

 

It has been a long time since I have written, and my does it feel good. I have been through a valley, looking for clarity of what Yahweh desires of my life and how to get there. The circumstances in which I was placed to be aligned with His vision, was harsh, to say the least. There was much disappointment and discouragement, but as always Yahweh prevails.

 

It is very refreshing when His view becomes yours and all that mess that seemed so big, becomes smaller compared to His love. The path that Yahweh mark's for each of us is unique because our relationship with Him is unique. His deepest desire for His children is to know and love Him for who He is-Faithful, Compassionate, Merciful, Loving, Forgiving, Holy, and Just. To really get to know these divine attributes takes much stripping, a stripping that He only orchestrates. He knows what we need in order for our knowledge and love for him to be pure. He knows the fight that we will put up while under construction.

 

When Yahweh takes us from one point to another, it is easy for us to recall all of the hurt, disappointment, shame, and  ciaos of our past. This paralyzes our faith.  It's can also be tempting to put Yahweh's former interventions in a box, which limits us from learning new things about Him. In the above scripture we read the prophet Isaiah speaking the words of the LORD. He is instructing the children of Israel not to look back on the former ways of the LORD, not to remember His past miracles. The LORD is going to do a new thing!  How comforting.

 

Our current situation can be so overwhelming, so depressing that out of sheer habit we can begin to pray the way we did before, expecting our LORD to show up in the same capacity. However, our LORD wants to move us from glory to glory. He wants us to grow up and bear much fruit, and again that takes pruning. Pruning does not feel good and we can begin to question what kind of a compassionate Father would allow His children to go through such turmoil? A just one would.

 

The LORD wants to be kept out of the box of our little minds and put on the throne of our decietful hearts so He can reign and not us. Our hearts that believe what our little minds tell us about our LORD. He is doing a new thing in us everyday, everyday. No matter what we are in or where we've been, the LORD is making a way for us and when He get's through with us, the former things will be transformed to a new thing.

 

 

Father, thank you for making all things new in our lives everyday. Despite what we feel. Despite what we see, You are still LORD.  You are moving in situations and You are changing situations everyday. Thank you for walking with us through the flood and fire (Isaiah 43:2). Our vision is limited, but You see everything. May we this day and everyday, rest in the arms that knows how to love and bless us. In Jesus name, Amen.
