God's New Thing (Sept. 6-20/20)

Isaiah spoke God’s words to God’s people 2500+ years ago as they suffered the might of Babylon and grieved the loss of their homeland. “I am about to do a new thing,” he declared in God’s voice, “now it springs forth, do you not perceive it? I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert” (Isaiah 43:19). These were words of hope for Israel and for us. God loves to do new things. There is no end to His creativity. Israel in Isaiah’s time needed to be reminded of this. Perhaps we do as well.
