Something New from God

"See, the former things have taken place,
and new things I declare;
before they spring into being
I announce them to you." Isaiah 42:9

Often times, when we're relying on God, he provides what we need at just the right time. God's Timing. Sometimes it seems that things just take too long to be taken care of, and then sometimes they aren't taken care of at all, and then also sometimes things are taken care of in a completely different manner than what we expected. This verse today reminds me that God knows what we want. He knows what we need. Perhaps, while we are waiting for God to take action, the answer will be there in a completely unexpected manner. In our earthly minds we see one way through a problem. God has helped us take that one way before, and that is in the past. Maybe now, this is the time where a new and unexpected path will be revealed. We simply need to wait and see. God will tell us when it is time.

Isaiah was asking God to do great things to show His Greatness,

"Oh, that you would rend the heavens and come down,
that the mountains would tremble before you!

2 As when fire sets twigs ablaze
and causes water to boil,
come down to make your name known to your enemies
and cause the nations to quake before you!

3 For when you did awesome things that we did not expect,
you came down, and the mountains trembled before you." Isaiah 42:1-9

Look at verse three there, "For when you did awesome things that we did not expect." In times of wait, it seems to me that we need to keep our eyes and ears and hearts open so that we can catch that which isn't expected. We need to have our minds open to the possibilities and to God's Will. For He truly does know best, and He will always provide what we need.
