A New Thing

God is always doing something new. He is not limited by your past, your failures, or your circumstances. While you are looking at the wilderness, He is planting a garden. While you see wasteland, He is creating streams of living water.

The challenge is perception. “Do you not perceive it?” God asks. Sometimes we are so focused on what was that we miss what is becoming. We replay old seasons in our minds and wonder if God will ever move again. But He is already moving, we just need eyes to see it.

In your relationships, God may be doing a new thing. A new season of closeness with your spouse. A new friendship that will change your life. A new clarity about your calling as a single person. A new peace about your engagement. He is making a way where there seems to be no way.

Open your eyes today. Look for the new thing. It may be small right now, just a sprout breaking through dry ground. But God promises it is coming. The wilderness will bloom, and the wasteland will overflow.
