Isaiah 43:19 (NKJV) Behold, I will do a new thing, Now it shall spring forth; Shall you not know it? I will even make a road in the wilderness And rivers in the desert.
Yes God is going to do a new thing, in your life and mine. It’s in God’s will to bring about change in our lives. Some changes we really like. Others we’re not so happy about. But change is a regular occurrence for sure and it’s the vehicle God uses to bring about that ‘new thing’. The problem, of course, is that we’re not too excited about change most of the time. We’re a lot like Moab in Jeremiah 49 who is described as settling down in comfort and ease.
The question isn’t whether changes are coming your way, but how will you respond to them? I’ve known many people who resist change thinking that will make it go away. Instead it only makes it worse. I’ve known many other people who embrace change as from the Lord and ride that wave until they reach the shore!
Which are you? I believe it’s important to remain open and flexible to all that God allows our way! If we’re rigid and unbendable, watch out! Remember, he knows what He’s doing even as He builds our faith in Him.
I’m going to be praying for God’s best in your life through the changes, knowing that you’re going to grow in Him greatly!

RESPONSE
Thank you so much Ed I was a bit overcome with grief when I sent you that last e-mail about my son. Your answer was very comforting. Again God was speaking to me and comforting me with your teaching today it brought a tear to my eye about my son. This message could not have come at a better time. In church today I learned that I must just ask God to let my son come to the end of himself like the periodical son story. To repent of his life style and come to me and I will point him to Jesus. I just hope that he looks to me and his mother the way the periodical son looked at his father and arose and went to him with a humble heart. Blessings my dear friend
