Let God Do A New ThingSample
Planted In The Wilderness.
“I will plant in the wilderness the cedar, the shittah tree, and the myrtle, and the oil tree; I will set in the desert the fir tree, and the pine, and the box tree together:” Isaiah 41:19 KJV
God will plant new things in the wilderness. God will cause the barren places to become fruitful. If you seek and trust God — He will transform the wilderness to become a place of habitation, rest, provision, and shelter. If you trust Him — He will do a new thing. Choose to trust Him.
Let God do a new thing within the walls of your heart. Let God do a new and creative thing within the walls of your home. Let God do a new and creative thing within your marriage. Let God do a new and creative thing within the walls of your family. Let God do a new and creative thing within the walls of your business. Let God do a new and creative thing within the walls of your ministry. Trust that God will cause you to flourish. Let God do a new thing — even in the wilderness.
When you trust God — your environment does not matter. When you follow God’s Instruction — your environment does not matter. When you wholeheartedly surrender to God’s Way of doing things — your environment does not matter. Obey God and He will cause you to flourish — even in the wilderness. Surrender to Him and let God do a new thing through you.
Isaiah 41:19 AMPC declares, “I will plant in the wilderness the cedar, the acacia, the myrtle, and the wild olive; I will set the cypress in the desert, the plane [tree] and the pine [tree] together,” The cedar tree and the acacia tree are extremely large trees. When these trees are fully grown, their root systems are vast, complex, and run deep within the soil of the ground. These trees need room to grow. Let God make room in every area of your life.
God will take care of your need and cause you to thrive — even in the desert. God knows what you need before you ask. God will cause your vision to grow even in the wilderness. The Lord will not abandon you. The Lord will not neglect you. God is with you — even in the desert.
When you surrender to God, He will cause you to grow and flourish. The wilderness will not stop you. The desert will not block you. When you surrender to Christ, He will even make the barren desert a place of prosperity.
Isaiah 41:19 NLT declares, “I will plant trees in the barren desert— cedar, acacia, myrtle, olive, cypress, fir, and pine.” Notice in Isaiah 41:19 NLT, the diversity of the trees outlined in this passage. These large and fruitful trees will need to be fed an enormous amount of nutrients through their soil in order to grow and thrive.
One of the creative miracles found in Isaiah 41:19 is that God will cause you to thrive and flourish even in the wilderness. He will nourish the ground of your heart even in the desert. When you choose to obey God — He will give you everything that you need in order to succeed. Choose to obey God and He will cause you to flourish — no matter your environment. There is no limit in Him.
Every tree, every gift, every talent, every ability, everything that God plants was designed to give Him Glory. There is space for you to flourish. There is room for you to thrive. There is no competition in Christ. Choose to obey God, align your steps with His Word and He will cause you to succeed. He will cause you to bring forth fruit — even in the wilderness.
