Good morning Champion and here is you Friday fry up.
Isaiah 43:18-20 (New International Version)
Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. 19 See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the desert and streams in the wasteland.
So this week we have decided that we will not live in the past any longer but rather the now that God is doing and the future He has promised. We will be people who live with a hunger to both perceive the new thing He is doing in our lives and to “go with it”.
When we do, it will always cause a divinely orchestrated way to appear in the seemingly dead end desert times of our life and God will show you a way forward where there seemed to be none. The promise for those who dare to live in the new thing is also that He makes streams flow in the wastelands or “wasted places “ and they become no longer wasted but refreshed, vibrant and fittingly used for His purposes. Why? Because of the promised streams of His life are now running through it, and everywhere the river of His life flows things come to life.
God loves to revive, renew and re-purpose wasted things whether they be wasted lands, buildings, people or talents. When God turns up waste becomes potential. Walk with God with a hunger for what He wants to do today and you will witness His power of transformation changing wasted things into flourishing successful testimonies of grace.
Are there wastelands or “wasted areas” in your life? Commit them to the Lord today allow Him access to them and you will be glad you did.
Have a great weekend, and remember God is doing a new thing so keep your eyes peeled for it!
