...See, I do a new thing

See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it?
I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland. 

[Isaiah 43:19]

A transition period at any point in our lives is usually a tough period for us, because, although we're not who we used to be, we are not yet who we should be or are working towards being. There's that danger of being so caught up in the fact that we are not yet "there" that we fail to see that we have made progress.

The passage today talks about restoration, God told his people He was changing the status quo, they did not "perceive" it but that did not change the fact that His work was in progress. When they looked around they saw the wilderness, all their eyes could see was wastelands all around them. Is that how life seems right now? so barren and dry and empty, all you can see is infertile ground all around you? You look your self in the mirror and you know this is not who you really are meant to be, but you cannot see a way out right now, everywhere you turn there seems to be nothing there for you? Don't loose hope, cos our God is the one who is making a way in the wilderness and springs in the wastelands. 

Isaiah 30:15 tells us, "in quietness and trust is our strength" so let you heart be silent, enter into that silent place in your spirit and speak to Him, find your strength in Him and walk in sync with Him as He works out His plan. The amazing part of it is whether we see it or not, that does not change God's plan, as long as He has planned it, it would come to pass and He has promised saying "say to the righteous, it shall be well with Him" . Many are the afflictions of the righteous but the Lord delivers  him out of them all (not out of some), we Have a God who works awesome wonders even in the bleakest of surroundings.

Prayer: Thank  You father for who I am today, Your child, a heir in Your mighty kingdom. I praise You for because of You I know I cannot be shaken no matter where I find myself . Though the promise seems to tarry, I would wait for it because it shall surely come. So today I set my heart to praise You as the wonderful way maker, and i am rest assured that You who works in ways i cannot see would make a way where there seems to be no way.
