“Behold, I am doing 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.
Make way.
Time is now here where new is being birthed.
We are all different people now made ready to count the victories from the crushing and to be encouraged.
We have new resilience and fullness, more able and to withstand Him pushing us out of the way to respond to being led by His Holy Spirit.
The waiting over and the time to demonstrate His power for transformation from self serving to coming to God first.
His power is made perfect
“But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me.”
Our humility is our strongest weapon. We do not exalt our opinions over God in our arrogance or pride.
“He leads the humble in what is right, and teaches the humble his way.”
By humbling ourselves He can exalt us in the kingdom as we are under His mighty hand. His atmosphere is one of joy when we are within His grace it is with gladness and joy that is everlasting regardless of conditions
“But he gives more grace. Therefore it says, “God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.””
There is promise in God’s word that wrong will be turned around to right and our sorrows to joys.
““Blessed are you who are hungry now, for you shall be satisfied. “Blessed are you who weep now, for you shall laugh.”
The Lord’s heart is for everyone to come into His kingdom and that His word will come alive in us all. The wicked will perish; the enemies of the Lord are like the glory of the pastures; they vanish—like smoke they vanish away.
What may seem in the world to be unjust has to be brought to justice.
“The Lord knows the days of the blameless, and their heritage will remain forever;”
We are Holy and blameless in His sight.
“even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless before him. In love he predestined us for adoption to himself as sons through Jesus Christ, according to the purpose of his will,”
The illustration shows rivers in the desert, the rainbow hope of new things. Darkness pushed back as the light emanates.
