God wants to do something new in your life
“Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall
come to pass; shall you not know it? I will make a way in the wilderness,
and rivers in the desert.” Isaiah 43:19
In Isaiah 43:19, God promises to do something new, to transform desperate
situations and bring hope and life where there is none, creating paths
in the desert and rivers in dry places, encouraging us not to cling
to the past but to look forward to God's new works. It is a promise
of renewal, provision, and divine guidance, even in the most difficult
trials.
The
Lord Jesus Christ, who is the Father in creation, the Son in redemption,
and the Holy Spirit in regeneration, is the same yesterday, today,
and forever (Hebrews 13:8). God is Spirit and does not change. He
does not change because He is perfect in His essence, in His being,
and in His ways, and therefore has no need to change. And so He formed
man in His image and likeness, but sin has distorted man, who needs
to change. God works through our faith and obedience to Him to change
and transform us so that we may become like Him.
God wants to change man and the world in which he lives because they
are corrupted by sin.
God asks us to leave the past behind, whether good or bad, so that
we are not paralyzed by regrets or habits. (Isaiah 43:18)
Isaiah 43:19 says: "Behold, I will do a new thing; now it
shall spring forth; shall you not know it? I will make a way in the
wilderness and rivers in the desert."
In this verse, God announces a new intervention, a transformation
that is imminent and that we must recognize. He says that He will
make a way in the wilderness and in the desert. The wilderness or
the desert represent periods of difficulty, trials, lack, despair,
or spiritual dryness. The road and the rivers symbolize the guidance,
direction, life, provision, and refreshment that God miraculously
brings, transforming the impossible into the possible, for nothing
is impossible with God (Luke 1:37).
This verse is a powerful message of hope, encouraging believers to
trust in God's ability to bring about transformative change and renew
their lives, even when they find themselves in barren or desperate
circumstances.
Be encouraged as you read these lines because God can do anything;
He can change any situation and transform any life. God asks you to
trust Him by believing in Him and obeying His word.
Whatever pain and suffering you have experienced in the past, whatever
problems, difficulties, and circumstances you have gone through yesterday,
God is calling you today. The Lord Jesus invites you to entrust your
life, your pain, your suffering, and your problems to Him, because
He wants to do new things for you and for the glory of His Name. So
there is hope for you. Trust in God's ability to bring about transformative
change and renewal to your life, even if you find yourself in barren
or desperate circumstances. Brother Daniel Komla Agbavito
