Isaiah 43:16-19 The Lord is making roads through the sea. He is making a path for his people, even through rough waters. The Lord says, “Those who fight against me with their chariots, horses, and armies will be defeated. They will never rise again. They will be destroyed. They will be put out like the flame in a lamp.  So don’t remember what happened in earlier times. Don’t think about what happened a long time ago,  because I am doing something new! Now you will grow like a new plant. Surely you know this is true. I will even make a road in the desert, and rivers will flow through that dry land.”

We must never forget that God is not stuck in some box or limited to our thinking. God makes roads through the sea, can you do that? God takes all of our enemies who pursue us relentlessly and defeats them so that they never get up again, destroying or obliterating them. He does not, however, do things the same. He’s the same miracle working God, but each and every time, he does it differently so stop looking for the WAY he’ll do it and start looking at the GOD who’ll do it. Who is God to you? What do you expect of him? Are you willing to step aside long enough to allow him to deliver you or do you constantly step back in and try to do it yourself?

It’s right there in His Word, he will do a new thing, did you see that? AND he says we will see it and know it’s true. Wow! We need to place our trust in THAT God, the one who cares for us and delivers us. Expecting the unexpected, trusting in the unseen, believing that regardless of past experiences, we will see that God is a God of his Word and will do what he said he would do.

Perhaps you’ve been on the same path for a long time and that path seems to be circling the same rock, God’s making a new path for you. When you see the path, take it! Get off your familiar and launch out into the unfamiliar. You’ve been praying and believing God to do new things in your life so stop wondering if this is the right road. He loves and cares for you, trust him!

I leave you with this verse from Isaiah 30:20-21 The Lord might give you sorrow and pain like the bread and water you eat every day. But God is your teacher, and he will not continue to hide from you. You will see your teacher with your own eyes.  If you wander from the right path, either to the right or to the left, you will hear a voice behind you saying, “You should go this way. Here is the right way.”
