Something New in Me

 

 

 

Behold, I will do a new thing,

Now it shall spring forth;

Shall you not know it?

—Isaiah 43:19

 

You promise something new, Lord. Conceive something new in me, Holy Spirit. I want to perceive your Word producing life in me. I’m meditating on Your Word, renewing my thoughts daily, and believing Your Word in my heart. Your Word is Truth. Guide me into all of it, Holy Spirit. Teach me beyond my natural ability to perceive. Take me to the place in You, Holy Spirit, where I walk in peace, healing, and joy more abundant than I have ever known.

 

Amid the chaos, evil, unrest, and struggles, you tell me to keep my mind on You. I don’t have any answers. I know this is a matter of trust. You give me Your vision to inspire hope. I want to know it and share it with integrity.

 

You continually tell me that You are doing something new. But my perception is not yet Yours, Lord. I’m making the mistake of trying to understand with my mind instead of Yours. If I trust and seek You, I will receive understanding beyond my human understanding with the revelation You have for me. 

 

This journey of Your revelation is unlike any other. You take me out of my comfort zone, beyond the familiar, and open the life of Your Word within me. You expand my understanding from the ordinary aspects of this world to the extraordinary nature of Yours. Your revelation may be hard-fought and hard-won, but I desire Your revelation more than human understanding. Nothing else is worth the divine unveiling of Your Word. Nothing comes close.

 

Everyone—whether from the world or from you—believes they have the answer. Their answers may be based on human logic or what they believe in your Word. Perhaps those who seek answers in Your Word have never considered that You possess a deeper understanding to reveal within it. 

 

Has the awakening of Your Grace eluded us for far too long? Dare we open ourselves and allow You, Holy Spirit, to guide us into all Truth? The answer to everything is found in Your Word. We just haven’t perceived it yet so that it can be believed in our minds and conceived in our hearts. We haven’t been willing to risk venturing into unchartered territory with You.

 

You will keep us in perfect peace, no matter what rages around us, when we trust You with our minds and hearts. Our spirits are entirely Yours—our souls perceive Your Spirit and conceive Your Truth; our bodies respond based on what our minds have perceived and conceived. When we place our faith in You rather than in the delusions of the enemy, the world, religious tradition, or the opinions of men, You grant perfect peace amid chaos and destruction.

 

“Behold, I will do a new thing. Will you not know it?  I make a road in this wilderness and give waters in this desert land to my people—to the ones that know me—the ones I have formed for myself. They shall praise me” (Isaiah 43:19-21).

 

You are my answer, Lord Jesus. The revelation of Your Word is the means you have given me to know you. I fix my mind and heart on You. I trust only you, Lord. I sow Your imperishable Truth in my heart, and You bring forth something new in me.

Lord, You promise new work in me. Sometimes, I hinder it by taking on the weight of my assignment instead of allowing You to carry it. But You paid that price; it is Your weight, not mine. I am but Your servant. Daily, I will allow You to bear fruit. You give revelation. You change hearts, not me. Lord, Jesus, may the meditation of my heart and the words that I write be pleasing in your sight. I take my hands off Your work. Open my heart to risk everything for you. Change me, Holy Spirit, into a vessel You can use so that Your Word will come to life in those hungry enough to receive it. Help me write for hearts that are famished and willing to risk everything for You.
