Tue.'s Devo - New Things

Read Isa. 43:1-18
I love these verses. God tells us that he has bought us back from the devil's domain and called us by name and given us his name. When we go through small and large trials he will go with us through them. He will not let the situation overwhelm us. When we walk through persecution it will not leave us with scars and we will not stay there. Isaiah skips ahead to out lifetime when God began to call the Jewish people back to their homeland. In 1948 the land of Israel became a nation and from then to now God has put it on the heart of his people to come and live in Israel. He has given them scientific secrets into how to turn desert land into farmland. Trees have been planted where there was once barrenness and wilderness. He brought forth the blind people who had eyes and the deaf people who had ears. In other words he called people that don't even know the Lord to come back and follow their heart. They have the ability to know him they just haven't YET. God is the author of humanity. He has always been in control and he will always be in control. The things we have seen God do in the past won't even compare to what he is going to do. We will talk tomorrow about what that is going to look like.
Lord, there is nothing compared to your majesty and your wisdom. I am so blessed to be your child.
