His Word, My Newness

"And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold I make all things new, and he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful." Revelation 21:5

Have you ever gone through a trial, or perhaps you are in one right now, in which it looks like all hope is lost? There is just no way that restoration, redemption or healing can happen in your situation. Even if God does the healing or the restoration, it looks impossible that the scars (physical or emotional) will ever fade and things be as good as they were before.

One thing that I have learned about God is that he does all things well. He doesn't rush through the process and leave things to chance. When he created the heavens and the earth, he didn't just throw them out there but had a precise plan for distance, gravitational pull, heat, coolness, light and darkness. With his understanding and wisdom, the right amount of water, land, minerals and plants were perfectly created to sustain the life he was preparing. Thousands of years later, we are still drinking the same water and breathing the same air. God's creation is awesome but even more wonderful is the love and care God put into creation.

If God cares enough to create a new beginning for a big ball of dirt (the earth), how much more does he care about your new beginning? I was speaking with someone tonight and they were telling me about a married couple who had split up and the wife moved in someone else. It appeared that all was lost but God had other plans. After many months/years the couple did get back together. Today they are more in love than before. Today they have God at the center of the relationship, rather than as an afterthought. God did not just restore that marriage but He made it new. God specializes in creating new beginnings. What new beginning do you need? A renewed walk with Him? A renewed marriage? Renewed health? A new career? Whatever new beginning you need you must trust what God said, "Behold I make all things new."
