God Is Doing A New Thing

When God is about to do some thing new what exactly is He referring to?

Well, that’s a loaded question, so I will defer my response at this time, but feel free to leave your response in the comment section. Now then, if there is one thing we can count on with God, it is that we can never predict when He will change the course of our lives and lead us down a path of blessings we couldn’t imagine.

The Bible gives countless examples of the amazing changes God made in people’s lives centuries before, and what He continues to do in our lives today.

The prophet Isaiah proclaimed in Isaiah 43:19 that “God would do a new thing” in our lives, something we couldn’t do ourselves. This thing would be impossible for man, but possible to God.

As the verse states, God was planning on doing something new for the people of Israel – something that would not be expected. He listed examples such as a road in the wilderness and rivers in the desert, both scenarios that would seem impossible to people at that time.

What God wanted Israel – and us – to realize is that He is the one responsible for bringing this new thing forward, springing it forth where you can’t miss it, unless you don’t understand it is His doing and no one else’s. The new thing God is doing is bringing blessings and a new path ahead for His people where the world said there is no way forward.

If you missed it my answer to my initial question was just stated in the above paragraph.

God reminds us through Isaiah’s words that we are witnesses to His redemption of Israel from all its enemies, providing a path ahead when it was believed there was none. So whatever circumstance that your facing in your life today, I want you to remember that what God does for one, He will also do for another. Deuteronomy 10:17 confirms, “For the Lord your God is God of gods and Lord of lords, the great God, mighty and awesome, who shows no partiality and accepts no bribes.”

My brothers and sisters, God sought to remind Israel that He was the Redeemer of Israel and was with them through whatever obstacle or heartbreak they had….He is also reminding us of the same today.

Unstoppable In Christ!

When you feel like giving up, be reminded that God loves you and wants to live life to the full! God’s plan is to prosper you and not to harm you (Jeremiah 29:11). If you’re struggling in life, don’t give up – there are better things yet to come!

Paul loved using sports analogies. In parallel with the above paragraph, he said this in I Corinthians 9:24, “Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize? Run in such a way as to get the prize.”

My brothers and sisters, you have have to want that prize and while there are many things that demand our time and attention that we should leave behind such as unhealthy relationships, jobs, and habits, it’s also important to keep fighting for what is good and right. Fight for your success, fight for your marriage, fight for your kids, fight for your health – don’t give up! Know that you are not alone, and know that we are in the hands of God – He will provide us with strength, resources, and resilience when we need it. Stumbling blocks, obstacles, and setbacks are part of the process but they are never the end of your story! Giving up is never an option and with God on your side you will always find renewed strength and hope to keep going!

Look at this way, if the SEA didn’t stop MOSES, the WALL didn’t stop JOSHUA, the GIANT didn’t stop DAVID, the GRAVE didn’t stop JESUS, then in CHRIST NOTHING will stop YOU!

Jesus said this in Matthew 17:20. “Because of your little faith. For truly, I say to you, if you have faith like a grain of mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move, and nothing will be impossible for you.”

God Is With Us!

The Lord is always walking beside you. He is going through every situation with you. He loves and cares for you and will always stand by your side. Walking with Him will give you the comfort of knowing that He is always there for you. He is always with you when you need someone to lean on and a shoulder to cry on; He is always there with open arms.

David reminds us in Psalm 23:4, “Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.”

No matter what you are going through, God will help you. You can always cry out to him for help. When you are frustrated and angry, cry out to him. When you are upset and feel like you cannot go on any longer, cry out to him. He will always be there to pick you up and move you forward.

The author of Hebrews 4:15-16 wrote, “For we do not have a high priest who is unable to empathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are—yet he did not sin. Let us then approach God’s throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.”

Undoubtedly, God is the light to our path. He will show us the way, but without him, we have to find our way through the darkness. Why struggle, when you can have God to guide you?

Jesus encouraged us in John 8:12 when He said, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.”

If you have been traveling on a difficult road like me, remember what God said in Leviticus 26:12, “I will also walk among you and be your God, and you shall be my people.” God is with us!

Life Is Precious!

Trust me, the billionaires & millionaires in Titan submarine (if they are alive) would trade every single penny in their bank accounts to switch places with you & me right now. They would be praying literally for just ‘existing’ or ‘being alive’ and to be back on land. That’s how precious life itself is. Value it. Thank God everyday and be grateful for everything He gives you! Make the most out of your life while you still have time…

God’s Promises Births New Hope!

One thing to know and love about our God is that He is a promise keeper. Psalms 145:13 states, “For your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom. You rule throughout all generations. The Lord always keeps His promises; He is gracious in all He does.”

God made sure to put this scripture in the bible with great intentions in mind. Not only do we serve an everlasting God that has and will forever reign but we also serve a God that ALWAYS keeps His promises. 2 Corinthians 1:20 says, “All of God’s promises are ‘YES’ in Christ. And so through Him the AMEN’ is spoken by us to the glory of the Father!”

God already knew that it can be hard for us, as humans, to hold on to His promises in a generation and world that prefers immediate results.

God already knew that people may fail us, loved ones may disappoint us, and our circumstances may change in ways that can challenge our faith to believe that the promise will come to pass.

God already knew that it’s even hard for ourselves as humans to make and keep promises, but that’s not the case for our God.

Hallelujah, our God never fails, never lies, and never gives up so why not trust and believe in Him to make the promise come to pass?!

I once read that there are over 8,810 promises in the Bible and 7,487 are promises made by God to us! So, I encouraged you like I encourage myself to find one that speaks to your situations and H.old O.n to that P.romises E.veryday until God changes your situation or He changes you! God’s promises always births NEW HOPE!

Pray With Me!

Father God, I don’t see how you will make a way, fix things, or fulfill Your promises. Yet, I believe You are able and You will do it. As I wait, I do not want to be my own biggest hindrance by allowing doubt, fear, or worry to rule me. Today, I make the choice to move out of my own way and trust You to have Your way. No matter what it looks like, I believe I will see You do the impossible in every area of my life. In Jesus’ He will make a way name, Amen and Amen!BeStrong

Lord, Move Me!

Jesus said in Matthew 17:20, “For truly I tell you, if you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move; and nothing will be impossible for you.” Well, the million dollar question is what if the mountain that needs to move is you?!

Ar the top of the morning, no matter what stands in our way, we serve a God who knocks down walls; opens doors; makes ways; delivers the bound; mends the broken; gives strength to the weak; increases those who are lacking; heals the sick; and causes His people to always triumph.

However, in order to experience these promises in our lives we have to get out of our own way. We have to get out of ourselves! We have to get out of our own thoughts and out of our comfort zones. Noel Pinnock once said, “When we allow comfort to enter our homes as a guest, it can remain as our host, and eventually it becomes our master.”

Undoubtedly, we have to force ourselves to break outside that small box labeled comfort. We have to challenge ourselves to trust God when He prunes and stretches. We have to say ‘no’ to complacency, small-minded thinking, and negativity.

So then, how do we get out of our own way? That’s easy. We begin by trusting God’s way and believing that, no matter what it looks like, there is absolutely nothing that can prevent God from doing what He wants to do. You are not too old; too young; too sick; too broke; too uneducated; too inexperienced; too damaged; too mentally confused; or too messed up to see God move in your favor.

There’s a reason for that, which is what I’m stirring into your cup of encouragement, empowerment, and inspiration. The answer to why your limitations don’t limit God is found in Genesis 18:14 where God said to Abraham, in the middle of his battle with doubt over the promise, “Is anything too hard for the LORD?”

My brothers and sisters, “If our hope is built on faulty PREMISES, we will not believe nor receive God’s PROMISES. A foundation of fear, doubt and worry will kill your faith in hard times. You must build your hope upon the word of God and nothing or no one else!

As you continue to drink down the contents of your cup, ask God if it’s you that need to be moved and if so….then move! Be bless on purpose and encouraged because there is no obstacle that can block God from carrying out His sovereign will. There is nothing He can’t do. Don’t fret, doubt, fear, worry, or laugh in disbelief. God is alway with you, even until the end of this age (Matthew 28:20)!
