THE LORD REWRITES OUR STORY

Isaiah 43:19 Behold I will do a new thing, now it shall spring forth. Shall you not know it?

I heard the following phrase last week "The Lord rewrites our story" and it resonated with me. Maybe it does with you too? So often we think we know how our story is going to unfold, year in, year out, whether it's in our careers or family commitments or maybe health wise, but God may want to rewrite your story with peace instead of stress, with health and wholeness instead of sickness, with a new area, a new job, new beginnings, new ministry. 

When we're stuck in a rut or we've been in our comfort zone too long it can come as a challenge to know God maybe has something fresh and new for us to pursue. He never made us for the 'same old' all the time. God is never boring! 

Each one of us has new chapters still to be read.  Are you ready for a new thing? Would you welcome it? I hope so because there's a strong temptation to 'play it safe' in life but God wants us to know it will be worth it when we follow His leading. 

In order to move into a new land you have to leave the old one but God tells us that we are well able to do it with Him! In the Kingdom of God we're never too old, too young, too inexperienced, too anything for God to use us. If God is calling us to do something then He'll provide the resources, the skills, and the strength to do it. If God wants something to be done He'll foot the bill for it too, not you.

He says in our verse 'now it shall spring forth' and the Holy Spirit wants us to get in agreement with that word. 2 Corinthians 6:2 Behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation. God wants us to live in the now and not put things off  till 'one day'.. 

He has something new for us now. Are we willing to let Him rewrite our story, to change things if He wants to?  Let's embrace it and thank Him for it in advance, by faith.  Amen.
