Stay Open for a New Thing

Today’s Scripture

“Behold, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs forth; do you not perceive and know it and will you not give heed to it? I will even make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert” (Isaiah 43:19, AMP).

Today’s Word

If we are going to be all that God created us to be, we have to be open to change. Just because something worked five years ago doesn’t mean it’s still going to work today. We can’t get so set in our ways that we won’t try anything new. Many people today have lost their enthusiasm, or there’s no freshness in their life because every time an opportunity comes for change, for promotion, for increase, they shrink back because they’re not used to it. They don’t realize that’s what’s keeping them from going to the next level.

One thing I’ve noticed about successful people is that they know how to change with the times. They don’t get stuck in a rut doing the same thing, the same way, year after year. They’re constantly evaluating where they are and what they’re doing. They make adjustments so they can improve.

Decide today to stay open for the new thing God wants to do in your life. Remember, He’s promised to make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert. Look for the new thing so that you can fulfill the destiny He has prepared for you!

A Prayer for Today

Heavenly Father, search my heart today. Remove any attitudes or thought patterns that would keep me from Your best. I will stay open to the new things You have in store for me. In Jesus´ Name. Amen.
