Now Watch This!

Remember not the former things,

nor consider the things of old.

Behold, I am doing a new thing;

now it springs forth,

    do you not perceive it?

I will make a way in the wilderness

             and rivers in the desert.

                       Isaiah 43. 18-19

(Do not allow the past to define you

             or trip you up.

Know that God redeems.

A new path will spring up

    in unlikely places

    and among impossible people,

and even as we are faithful

                 in the familiar.

Same circumstances,

           a new path through.

You whisper to us,

         "Now watch this.")

O LORD,

You provide a way

    where there seems to be no way,

over and over again,

    a deliverance,

    an exit door,

but even more Your strength,

  not just to endure

  but to bring Your name

        and Your glory here.
