We all come to moments and seasons in our life where it’s time to start something new. Sometimes these seasons come by design and the choices we have made, other times they come because of circumstances outside our control. Whether it is starting a new walk of life in Christ, a new business or job role, marriage, or new school year, a season of new beginnings gives us the opportunity to take steps of faith and start fresh. 

Starting something new can be a difficult task especially if it is out of your comfort zone. Our faith can be tested in extreme highs and lows and learning how to walk out this new way of life can be met with adversity. There are questions that come to our minds in these seasons such as: How do I actually live a life centered on Jesus? How do I learn this new position? How do I have a healthy marriage? How can I lead my kids in this next school year? 

Amidst all the questions and uncertainties, the Apostle Paul and the Prophet Isaiah understood something about God when it comes to facing new seasons. They understood that God is a path-maker. We need Him to set the new direction.

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 43:19

Isaiah told the people that God was doing something new in the land and that He was going to make a pathway through the wilderness and create rivers in dry places. Isaiah trusted that no matter what was happening in the world, God had a way of making a path for those who trust Him. 

It can feel as though we are in new territory and a new way of doing life however, if we put our trust in God, He will make a path for us. The Apostle Paul understood that when we trust in Jesus Christ, the old life passes away and we walk into newness. In other words, God’s got this! 

Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here! ~ 2 Corinthians 5:17

Step into this new season fully trusting and believing that God will make a pathway and order our steps according to His purposes.
