Isaiah 43:19
"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 43:19Every new year carries the fragrance of possibility. God is not bound by what was, He is the God of what will be. As you step into this year, know that the Creator of the universe is actively doing something new in your life. The old patterns, the old wounds, the old limitations, they do not define your tomorrow.
Isaiah's words were spoken to a people who had known exile and heartbreak. Yet God declared He was making a way where there seemed to be none. Whatever wilderness you are walking through, in singleness, in marriage, in waiting, God is carving rivers of hope through dry ground.
Let this first day be an altar of surrender. Release last year's regrets and this year's anxieties to the One who holds all things together. He is doing a new thing. Will you perceive it?
Father, thank You for the gift of a new year. I surrender my plans, my fears, and my expectations to You. Open my eyes to the new thing You are doing. May this year be marked by Your faithfulness. Amen.
