"Behold, I will do something new, Now it will spring forth; Will you not be aware of it? I will even make a roadway in the wilderness, Rivers in the desert" (Isaiah 43:19 - NASB).
____________________
This text in Isaiah 43:19 is a comforting reminder from the Lord that He will do things never before done in our lives both as individuals and as a collective.
He will "make roadways in the wilderness and rivers in the desert".
We all are sometimes or will be, at places of aloness and barrenness. The comfort is in knowing that our Lord can change the situation to our advantage. A lone wilderness can become a pathway out for you. And also a pathway out of which others can trod with the assurance that as you made it through by His hand, so can they. Also, no matter how barren and dry your life at times as a desert can be. The Lord can bring a river flowing through to refresh your parched life and soul with the comfort you so desperately need.
So as you begin this new year 2020, have as my friend, Dustin Echols has said about the new year 2020...'what 20/20 stands for optically - "clear vision"'.
After all the text of Isaiah 43:19 also says' "Will you not be aware of it?" The Lord wants our eyes open to His workings within our lives...a roadway in the wilderness...rivers in the desert. Only He works that way!!!
Happy 2020 New Year!!!
