The Unsearchable Ways of God

“I am about to do a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it?”—Isaiah 43:19

God is a God of surprises. He’s a God of newness. Study the Hebrew Scriptures and the New Testament. Noah, mocked by all for building an ark on dry land, was saved. Moses uprooted the Jewish people in Egypt and led them to a new land. This was God’s unfathomable plan brought into the lives of his people. This was newness God brought into their lives. Whenever God reveals himself, he brings newness. In the beginning, as with Noah and Moses, openness to God demands our trust in him. Let God surprise you! Accept the new thing he wants to do in your life. What is the step of trust God wants you to take?

Prayer O God, my Strength, I place my trust in you. You never forsake those who seek you. Amen.
