A
reminder for today
"But
forget all that—it is nothing compared to what I am going to do. For I am about
to do something new. See, I have already begun! Do you not see it? I will make
a pathway through the wilderness. I will create rivers in the dry wasteland. (Isaiah 43:18-19)
I stand at a crossroad today afraid of the past and jittery
about the future. You see at times I wonder
where am I going and how will I ever succeed when I have so much that weighs
down in my shoulders. I am afraid to take a step, because I fear that I will
make the same mistakes as before. So today I find myself a little lost and
unsure what to make of all this. I am sure you have found yourself in a position
where you do not know what to do nor which direction to choose.
Today the Lord answers me with this: But forget all that—it is nothing compared to what I am going to do, for
I am about to do something new. See, I have already begun!
Just when I feel at my weakest the Lord comes and changes
my view completely. The Lord says that He will create rivers in the dry wasteland.
I see this as the difficulties that lie ahead and the burdens that I carry with
me. When the Lord says He will create rivers in a dry land, it means that where
there once was nothing, there will be lush vegetation and forests. There will
be life where there once was death and fear. There will be victory where there
once was failure and despair. The Lord says that He will create a pathway
through the wilderness. This to me means that He will show us the way through
the fears that bind us. He will guide us in our journey and lead us through
this wilderness filled with danger and fear to a new place where we will be
free so that His new start will be visible to all.
So let us forget the past that holds us back and embrace what
the Lord is about to do in our lives. Let us walk through the wilderness of
life and into the dry wasteland now filled with life and an abundance of blessings
that will fill us from top to bottom as the strength of the Lord breaks our
worries and pull us up and into His presence.
Let the rivers flow as we move forward in our boats on
this rollercoaster called life, fearless and victorious.
Have and awesome day dear friend of Jesus
