The God of New Things
He's not finished with you.
Hope for change and renewal.
The big idea
God specializes in turning dead ends into new beginnings.
What does “The God of New Things” walk through?
A New Thing
Isaiah 43:19 · KJV
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.
In plain English
Watch — I'm doing something new. It's already starting. I'll make a path through wilderness and rivers in the desert.
Already Beginning
God says 'now it springs forth.' The new thing may already be starting.
New Creation
2 Corinthians 5:17 · KJV
Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
In plain English
If you're in Christ, you're a new creation. The old is done. Everything's new.
A Fresh Identity
In Christ you're not patched up — you're made new.
Pray
Lord, do a new thing in me. I'm ready. Amen.
Write it down
Where do you long for God to do something new?
You finished: The God of New Things
Stuck isn't permanent. He makes a way.
Which passages does this journey use?
2 passages, drawn from Isaiah 43:19, 2 Corinthians 5:17. Every verse appears here in the King James text with a plain-English line beside it, so you can read it without a commentary open. Allow about 5 minutes for the whole thing, or 5 short sittings.
- Isaiah 43:19
- 2 Corinthians 5:17
Read any of these in full on the complete KJV, or look the wording up independently at Blue Letter Bible.
