Isaiah 43:18–19 (NKJV)
“Do not remember the former things,
Nor consider the things of old.
Behold, I will do a new thing,
Now it shall spring forth;
Shall you not know it?
I will even make a road in the wilderness
And rivers in the desert.”
Praise and glory be to God for this beautiful day and the opportunity to reflect on His living Word. Happy Blessed New Year!
As we step into a new year, the Lord calls us not to be bound by the former things or past experiences, even past victories. While it is important to remember God’s faithfulness, He reminds us that He is continually at work, doing new and glorious things in our lives.
God declares with authority, “Behold, I will do a new thing.” This is a word of hope, renewal, and fresh beginnings. The new thing may not look familiar, but it will surely spring forth according to God’s divine timing and purpose.
The promise of a road in the wilderness and rivers in the desert reveals God’s power to create pathways where none exist and to bring refreshing life into dry and difficult situations. What seems impossible to man is never impossible with God.
May your eyes be opened to recognize the new thing God is doing in your life this year. May He make a way where there seems to be no way and cause rivers of blessing, restoration, and divine direction to flow into every dry place. Amen.
