“The Gift of New”

Isaiah 43:19

What do you do with the gift of new?

1)Thank God

         v14a, “This is what the Lord says—your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel:…”

Psalm 118:24, “This is the day the Lord has made. We will rejoice and be glad in it.”

2)Remember God’s Great Deeds

v19, “For I am about to do something new. See, I have already begun! Do you not see it? …” (See also v16-17)

3)Forget about it!

v18, “But forget all that—it is nothing compared to what I am going to do.”  

Amos 5:5, “Seek me and live; do not seek Bethel, do not go to Gilgal, do not journey to Beersheba.”

4) Get ready to take the leap

            v19, “…I will create rivers in the dry wasteland”

Hebrews 11:1, “Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see.”

Ephesians 3:20, “Now all glory to God, who is able, through his mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we night ask or think!”

There’s a place that’s as clean as a mountain stream

That’s as bright as an April morn,

There’s a place for rebuilding broken dreams,

There’s a place where hope is reborn.

There’s a place that is open to all this day,

It’s the place that He gives to all men,

There’s a place that is only a step away,

It’s the place of beginning again.

Final Thought: The gift of new is always God’s grace to you.
