Do You Not See It?

“For I am about to do something new.

See, I have already begun!  Do you not see it?”

Isaiah 43:19

I am about to enter a new season of ministry leadership at my church.  As I do so, I believe in God’s sovereignty, timing and call on my life.  He has orchestrated all of the details that have led up to this time and I walk in confidence that He goes before me.

One day, as the realities of this new season began to sink in, my mind was flooded with thoughts about the word “new“.  So, in true blogger fashion, I took to my computer and jotted down my thoughts.  Here’s what I wrote:

New is exciting.  New is refreshing.

New is unlimited possibilities.  New is full of promise.

New is scary.  New is uncertain.

New is exhausting.  New is learning all over again.

God is sovereign.  God is faithful.

God is loving.  God is awesome.

God is a provider.  God is my Father.

New is needed.  God is good.

Earlier this week, I read a timely word in my Jesus Calling devotional that stopped me in my tracks.  Here’s a photo of what I read (note my highlighted and underlined portions):

As I walk through the days ahead, I choose to walk through demanding days by gripping the hand of my Savior and walking in confidence that He who called me is faithful (1 Thessalonians 5:24).  Amen!
