January 1: Isaiah 43:16-21
Key Verse: 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.
Devotion:
What other verse could I use for the start of a New Year! Happy New Year! The last few years after my Dad died I have just been getting on with life and seeing what happens, but after going over these verses which actually mean a lot to me, I am aiming at getting to grips with a lot more this year!
These are the Words given to Isaiah from The Lord. They are special and we need to take note of things God says to us like this! He is our Creator God who has made everything and the one who opened the doors for Israel to do so much… so long as they continue to follow Him and to obey His commands.
I fear we have seen a side of the country of Israel which does not look like the people of Israel from the bible; but I’m not here to be political and to set blame anywhere but at my own feet. These words should be guided toward what He is asking of your own life and not used to judge others with!
God is the one who started doing something new in the hopes we will pick up the banner and continue this new thing He has started. We should not be looking for anything other than what God placed in our hearts about the work He wants us to do. He has already opened the doors and continues to hold them open for us to see and use!
Points to Ponder:
What doors has God opened lately?
Are you willing to go through them and complete His work?
