All Things New – A New Routine He who sits on the throne said, “Behold, I am making all things new … Rev. 21:5 Do you See the New Thing God is Doing? For I am about to do something new. See, I have already begun! Do you not see it? … Isaiah 43:19. (NIVUK) A Wilderness Stands Between You and your New Thing … I will make a pathway through the wilderness. I will create rivers in the dry wasteland. Isaiah 43:19 (NIVUK) God Provides a Path to Traverse the Wilderness I will lead blind Israel down a new path, guiding them along an unfamiliar way. I will brighten the darkness before them and smooth out the road ahead of them. Yes, I will indeed do these things; I will not forsake them. Isaiah 42:16 (NLT) The voice of one crying in the wilderness: Prepare the way of the Lord; make straight in the desert a highway for our God. Every valley shall be exalted, and every mountain and hill brought low; the crooked places shall be made straight and the rough places smooth; the glory of the Lord shall be revealed … Is. 40:3-5 Jesus is the Way and Shows Us the Way to Every Good Thing … God … who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ Eph.1:3 “Lord, we do not know where You are going, and how can we know the way?” Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. Jn. 14:5-6 Your ears shall hear a word behind you, saying, “This is the way, walk in it,” whenever you turn to the right hand or whenever you turn to the left. Is. 30:21 Every New Thing Requires New Routines Listen now to my voice; I will give you counsel, and God will be with you … you shall teach them the statutes and the laws, and show them the way in which they must walk and the work they must do. Ex. 18:19-20 Definition: A Routine is a customary or regular course of action. Your general routines groove your life When your life falls into a set routine; it limits your experiences and interactions. You see only what you have seen in the past. Don’t be imprisoned by your immediate enviroment. Take a new path. A new routine is required to embrace a new thing And no one puts new wine into old wineskins; or else the new wine bursts the wineskins, the wine is spilled, and the wineskins are ruined. But new wine must be put into new wineskins.” Mark 2:22 Release old routines to establish new routines
