New Things
December 5, 2023
When God shakes things up, He is waking us up. Being single again, I did not wish to embrace stewarding our resources, including my home, alone. God wired me up to be able to do so, Psalms 139: 13-16. I just did not know it yet.
Most of us prefer being comfortable. We discover nothing new there. Isaiah 43: 19 I am about to do a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it? I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert.
In the wilderness, God’s people did not have the food they liked, or a short trip to their destination. And they whined instead of trusting God. Being willing to be shaken, reshaped, prepares us for the river He has for us.
