Faith Words: New Things
I love old things: furniture, dishes, implements, recipes, traditions. But sometimes old things aren’t what we need. The Lord knows this.
Our old habits and patterns are beautiful to us - comforting, predictable. It’s not easy laying aside old things because we value them; we trust them. But our trust is misplaced when it’s in the things and traditions and not the One who is Himself the source of all that is good.
Embrace the Lord in His new thing, listen to Him, learn from Him. He will lead you in the paths of life. Let Him show you which old things to leave behind and which will build your faith in the new thing He is doing.
Out with the old, in with the new.

Isaiah 43:19 NIV
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.

As a father has compassion on his children, so the Lord has compassion on those who fear him.
His divine power has given us everything we need for a godly life through our knowledge of him, who calls us by his own glory and goodness.
They will have no fear of bad news; their hearts are steadfast, trusting in the Lord.
In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought
to pray for, but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us through wordless groans.
