“This is what the LORD says—he who made a way through the sea, a path through the mighty waters … ‘Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. 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 43:16,18-19 (NIV) |
Excerpt:
God is carving a new way for us. Where we see only grief, confusion and fear, God sees endless potential for redemption. Our dependable, loving God works tirelessly on our behalf, drying up seas and turning deserts into gardens. We need not fear the future, for where we see no way, God sees the best way.
Dear one, our capable and creative God is carving a way for us through every uncertainty and unknown. May we filter our future through this truth and face the days ahead with a hope that settles our souls.
Dear Lord, thank You for holding our future in Your capable, creative hands. When we face the temptation to fear, remind us of Your faithfulness and steadfast love. We entrust all our days to You. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
