What brand new things is God doing in your life?
Behold, I am doing a new thing; Now it springs forth, do you not perceive it? Isaiah 43:19
Creator King,
Isaiah shared your hope with the Israelites
in a desperate season.
May we hear his call
to “remember not the former things”—
old ways of entrenched sin,
deeply rooted patterns of rebellion,
relationships ripped apart by rudeness,
lives lost to cancer or wrecked by addiction…
May we instead look toward the horizon
and lean into the brand new things you are doing.
May we step faithfully
into the pathways
carved through the wilderness
by our Savior’s death and resurrection.
May we drink deeply from the rivers of mercy
that flow from the cross
into the driest desert days of our lives.
Wherever this word and prayer meets us today, Lord,
strengthen us with the hope
of the brand new thing
you have already done;
give us the faith to believe
you will continue to do new things
until we dwell with you forever
in the new heavens and the new earth.
In Jesus’ renewing name. Amen.
Read Isaiah 43:15-21.
