Good morning!
Text: Haggai; Isaiah 48
A theme that recurs in Isaiah is the idea that God is about to do something new. Here is how this theme shows up in Isaiah 48:
“You have heard; now see all this;
and will you not declare it?
From this time forth I announce to you new things,
hidden things that you have not known.
They are created now, not long ago;
before today you have never heard of them,
lest you should say, ‘Behold, I knew them.’ (Isaiah 48:6-7)
Our great God is The Creator. There are things He has for us that do not yet exist – and there are things He is doing right now that did not even exist yesterday. These new things are not old, dusty, tired, hidden things. They are brand spanking new. Feeling trapped? Feeling stuck? Our God is able to surprise and delight us. He has solutions to problems, answers to prayers, victories over huge obstacles that are right out of the box. What possibilities He offers us! Expect Him to make something new today.
in Him, Mike
