A
Brand New Thing
TODAY’S
SCRIPTURE
For I am about to do something new. See, I have already
begun!
Isaiah 43:19, NLT.
TODAY’S
WORD
Can you see the “brand new thing” God is doing in your
life? Sometimes it’s easy to see the hand of God moving, and sometimes the
storms of life can cloud our vision. But no matter where you are in life today,
meditate on this truth that God is working even when you can’t see Him. Like a
seed buried deep in the ground, it may seem dark and lonely and there may be
dirt all around, but that is place where life springs forth.
Trust that God is doing a new thing! You can trust Him
because He is faithful! His plan for you today is blessing. His plan is to give
you a future and a hope. His plan is to do a new thing in your life. Let go of
the thoughts of the past and open your heart to what God is doing today. Ask
Him to show you what He’s doing. Ask Him to reveal it to your heart. Seek Him
and you will find Him and see the brand new thing He’s doing in you!
PRAYER
FOR TODAY
Heavenly Father, thank You for doing a work in me, even
when I don’t see it. Thank You for the brand new thing You have. I open my
heart and put my faith and trust in You in Jesus’ Name! Amen.

“Commit your work to the Lord, and then your plans will succeed.” (Proverbs 16:3 NLT)
Whatever you want God to bless, you give to him first. Dedicate it, consecrate it, hallow it, and then God will bless it.
As a pastor, I want you to succeed in life. Obviously I want you to succeed spiritually, but I also want you to succeed in your work. I want you to be a witness at your work. I want you to use your platform for the glory of God.
When you dedicate your business to Christ, he gets involved with decisions. He tells you what to do. He becomes the chairman of your board. He gets the glory.
“We are Christ’s ambassadors, and God is using us to speak to you. We urge you, as though Christ himself were here pleading with you, ‘Be reconciled to God!’” (2 Corinthians 5:20 NLT)
Just as I’m the minister of Saddleback Church, you’re a minister of a church — at your workplace. Your job is to be an ambassador of Jesus to the people around you. The blessings that God pours out in your life — in your career, in your business, in your finances, in your family, in your health — they all come because of Jesus Christ.
“Let us give thanks to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! For in our union with Christ he has blessed us by giving us every spiritual blessing in the heavenly world” (Ephesians 1:3 TEV).
