Expect new and greater things!

 “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 43:18-17KJV.

A life of unpredictability and divine expectation awaits you as a believer in Christ. God’s promise to "do a new thing" is a profound assurance that He is constantly at work in ways beyond our understanding. Just as He provided for the Israelites in the wilderness by making a way and creating rivers in the desert, God’s power and provision are limitless. This miraculous ability is evident throughout the Bible, such as when Jesus fed over 5,000 people with only five loaves of bread and two fish (John 6:1–14). This act of divine multiplication was a testament to His power to bring about extraordinary outcomes in seemingly impossible situations. Therefore, no matter the challenges you face, you can expect new and greater things from God, knowing that He specializes in turning the impossible into possible.

The Bible is filled with stories of God doing the unexpected and extraordinary. Despite his old age and Sarah's barrenness, God promised Abraham descendants as numerous as the stars (Genesis 15:5). Or think of Joseph, who rose from being a prisoner to becoming the second-most powerful man in Egypt, orchestrating a plan that saved many nations from famine (Genesis 41). In the New Testament, the apostles witnessed countless miracles, including Peter walking on water (Matthew 14:29) and Paul healing the sick with his handkerchiefs (Acts 19:12). These examples highlight that God’s ability to bring about new and greater things is not just historical but is a continuous reality for those who trust in Him. So, embrace a mindset of faith and anticipation, knowing that God is always ready to surpass your expectations and bring about new blessings in your life.

Prophetic Word: "Do not dwell on the former things or be bound by the past," says the Lord. Behold, I am doing something new in your life; now it springs forth. Look out for it and experience it.  I am creating pathways where there appear to be none and creating streams in the barren areas of your life. Just as I provided for My people in the wilderness and multiplied the loaves and fishes, so will I provide for you. Expect new miracles, breakthroughs, and blessings. I am the God of the impossible, and I am about to surpass all your expectations. Trust in Me and see the new and greater things I will do for you."

Prayer: Heavenly Father, we thank You for Your promise to do new and greater things in our lives. We come before You with hearts full of faith and expectation, knowing that You are the God who makes a way in the wilderness and creates rivers in the desert. We ask that You open our eyes to perceive the new things You are doing. Strengthen our faith to believe in Your miraculous power, even in the most challenging situations. Lord, we lay down our past and embrace the future You have for us. Pour out Your blessings, favor, and provision upon us. We trust You to turn our impossible situations into testimonies of Your greatness. In Jesus' mighty name, we pray. Amen.

Expect a miracle.
