Jesus Makes All Things New: 12 Days Reflecting on Your New Pathનમૂનો

Something New...

Do not remember the former things,
Nor consider the things of old.
Behold, I will do a new thing,
Now it shall spring forth…
Isaiah 43:18-19 (NKJV)

I love new beginnings...

I love second chances, third opportunities, and fourth starting-fresh experiences. The list and the numbers go on.

Jesus loves new things, too. That is what grace is all about. And mercy. Also, the power of repentance and forgiveness and deliverance. He is all about doing new things, especially in His lambs’ lives (Rev.21:5).

Charting a new course, deciding to turn a new leaf on the page of our lives, or simply wanting to get out of a rut of comfort that has left us oh so unsatisfied doesn’t have to be a marked date on the calendar. We don’t have to wait for the start of a new year beginning. We don’t have to tarry for a significant life event to occur, or an epic pivotal moment. Jesus never stops creating new avenues, new paths, and yes, new lives and hearts.

Yes, the Lord loves to do new things, even making the impossible possible. Somehow, He never tires of replacing old things with new things. Our worn-out and tired dreams for what He actually has in mind for our lives. And renewing those areas of our soul weighing us down instead of soaring on eagle’s wings.

Let’s let the Magnificent Creator fashion something new in us today, this week, this new year (if indeed, we are reading this in January!). It is time to let some old things go and extend our hands to receive His fresh gifts in, to, and through our lives.

We won’t be disappointed.
