IN THE BEGINNING…THE WORD
DAILY DEVOTIONAL FOR TODAY, SEPTEMBER 25, 2011
RIVERS IN THE DESERT
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 43:19
The Word of God tells us that we are to rest in the Lord and wait patiently for him (Psalm 37:7). Why? Because the Lord desires to do a marvelous work in and through our lives for his glory and honor. Yes, we are vessels being fitted for the master’s use. He will shape us and he will mold us and he will try us in the fire…then we shall come forth: a new thing. This is God’s creative power, God’s Holy Spirit at work in the life of his children. Are you allowing God to do a new thing with your life?
First, we must submit to his will, doing all for the glory of God. Pray “your kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.” By submitting to his will, we receive divine direction from his Holy Spirit. Miracles break forth. This is how he makes a way for us in the wilderness. He causes rivers of plenty, bounty, substance to spring forth in the desert place.
Today, let us expect and wait upon the rivers
