A New Thing: Trusting GOD’s Truth Over the Facts
“Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland.” (Isaiah 43:18-19)
As we walk together through this journey of life, we all face challenges. These challenges come in different forms, whether they are physical, emotional, financial, or spiritual. Yet, one thing remains true: GOD holds the ultimate truth, and He is the truth revealed in CHRIST JESUS, His Son.
Challenges are facts. They are real and present, and they show up in our lives in countless ways. But while challenges are facts, they do not define us, and they are not the end of our story. JESUS in us defines us! The solution to our struggles is not found in the facts, but in the truth.
Facts are based on evidences in what we can see and understand, but truth is not confined by the limitations of what we can perceive. Truth stands above all, and we can stand firm in it. We are victorious, not because of what we see, but because of what CHRIST JESUS has done, who is the Truth.
GOD is doing a new thing among us. For all of us who feel burdened by past struggles, it is important to remember that those challenges are not our end, they are stepping stones leading us to the greatness GOD has in store. GOD is not merely making a way for us; He has already made the way through CHRIST! Even when we cannot see it, even when the path ahead seems unclear, we can be confident in this unshakable truth: He has already paved the way before us. JESUS said, “I Am the way.”
The wilderness we face is not the final destination. It is where we encounter GOD’s awesome and miraculous provision, where He creates streams in the desert. It is in those dry and difficult places that GOD shows His faithfulness and reveals His power.
Whatever we are facing as a community of CHRIST JESUS followers, let us remember that GOD’s truth is higher than the facts. GOD has already declared victory over sickness, struggle, fear, and every obstacle that stands before us. His Word is alive and active, already at work in our lives, even when we do not yet see the full picture. We can trust that He is moving behind the scenes, working all things together for our good.
This is a year of breakthrough for us. The past no longer has power over us, for GOD has already made a way where there seemed to be none. We can hold fast to His promises, knowing that He is making all things new! Let us trust in His truth and walk boldly together on the path He has set before us, for He is the truth.
And we are not walking alone. GOD is with us by His SPIRIT every step of the way, guiding us, healing us, and leading us into the new thing He is doing in our midst. His promises are sure, and His faithfulness endures forever. Hallelujah!
Begin with GOD…

Let Him Love you…
Let His Word Change you…

And Let GOD use you!
A BLESSED NEW YEAR, 2025!
