Something new
Remember ye not the former things, neither consider the things of old. Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert.
Isaiah 43:18-19 KJV
New is what emerges, it's the unexpected that you don’t own or imagine. The new brings the unknown, which comes loaded with surprises and expectations. It is generated in the midst of hope, and often, in the midst of faith.
When the new arrives, it can be considered the beginning or the end of the road. The new comes with changes, and takes the place of the old. It is what we do not have, but when it arrives, everything is transformed.
God does just that in our lives. He created light in the midst of darkness, created planet earth in the midst of emptiness, created life from the dust of the earth. He created the whole universe, He made everything new. God can create and transform. He can create out of nothing, turn a defeat into victory, or renew the strength of someone who is tired.
The new of God goes beyond our understanding. He colors what has no color, flourishes a plant in the desert, brings rain on dry land, provides rest to worries, makes music out of noise, brings peace into the storm. It is love in the midst of hatred, it is healing in the midst of pain. God makes a blind man see, makes a paralytic run and makes a sinner, forgiven.
Shalom.
