Isaiah 43:19 (AMP) says, “Behold, I am doing a new thing! …Do you not perceive it and know it and will you not give heed to it? I will even make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert.”

Recently a movie titled, ‘First Man’ was released in the theaters on October 12, 2018, by Universal Pictures. This movie talks about the first landing of man on the moon.
On July 20, 1969, astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin became the first men to ever walk on the moon. However, after their space ship, the Eagle lunar module landed on the moon’s surface, they didn’t immediately open the door but rather they waited. They spent some time in quietness and sober reflection, contemplating the next step they were about to take. Because no one had ever walked on the moon before, these men really didn’t know what to expect once they opened the door. Though they were excited at the fact that they were about to make history, they were also a bit apprehensive not knowing what lay out there. Prior to then there had been stories of aliens and other life forms existing in outer space. If such was true then they could be stepping into grave danger. Buzz Aldrin who was a Christian spent this quiet time of waiting in giving thanks to God. Alone and overwhelmed, he took the first communion ever to be taken in outer space.
However after their quiet time was over and Neil Armstrong stepped out on to the moon, it became the event that enshrined their names in history. Back on Earth, 530 million people watched live as Neil Armstrong stepped out of the lunar module and took one small step, and put his boot on a desolate moon surface that no other human had ever stepped on. Indeed it was one of the most iconic moments in human history, Their walking on the moon has ever since opened the door to deeper and greater space exploration and led to amazing advancements in science and technology.
Sometimes when we are on the brink of a new thing, we can be apprehensive, because we may not know what to expect. But when we trust in God we can always be sure it will all end in praise.
Isaiah 43:19 (AMP) says, “Behold, I am doing a new thing! …Do you not perceive it and know it and will you not give heed to it? I will even make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert.”
In this season God wants to do something new and supernatural in your life. But can you perceive it? It has been said it is often darkest before the day breaks forth. Though right now, you may seem somewhat worried and apprehensive of what the future holds, understand that like a seed buried deep in the ground, though it may seem dark and lonely around you, it is in that dark place that new life springs forth. Therefore no matter how bleak and uncertain things may outwardly seem, trust that God is doing a new thing in your life, Believe that He is making a way in your wilderness. He will cause rivers of blessings to flow into your desert. Therefore enlarge your faith and expect the supernatural in your life. Begin to see blessings flowing into your life like a river that cannot be stopped! You may not see how in the natural, but we serve a supernatural God to whom nothing is impossible.
God has ”a new thing” for you that is better, bigger, greater and mightier than what you knew before. Therefore let go of the former things and step out into the brighter future ahead of you. The past is a place of reference not a place of residence. Your car has a big windshield and a small rear mirror, because you are supposed to keep your eyes on where you are going, and less than where you have been. As apostle Paul said, let’s forget those things that are behind and press forward. God’s plan for you today is blessing. His plan is to give you a future and a hope. His plan is to do a new thing in your life. His plan is to move your life to greater heights of glory. Indeed His plan in this season is to gloriously unveil you to your world.
PRAYER: Heavenly Father, thank You for doing a new thing in my life. Even when I don’t see or fully understand it, I know indeed You are exceeding my expectations and working out all things to my favor in Jesus’ name!
