God's New Thing

 
 
  “Everything that can be invented has been invented.”
  “The horse is here to stay, but the automobile is only a novelty.” So said the Michigan banker who advised Henry Ford's lawyer not to invest in the new motor car company
  In spite of pessimism there is something in most of us that wants change for the better whether we think it is possible or not.
  The highly paid experts of our American advertising industry certainly understand the impact of key words.  Can you guess their favorite word used most often in those slick ads or on the colorful boxes or bottles designed to catch a shopper’s attention? 
  No, it’s not Sale!  The single most powerful term in sales and advertising is spelled with only three letters---NEW!   “New and improved” and we are willing to try it.
  The NEW YEAR is here.  If you open the book entitled My Next Year” you will find every page is blank.  Some good things may happen, some bad things.  Some things planned some things not at what you had in mind.  Some changes good and some changes bad, but changes that are the consequences of previous choices and actions.
  In Isaiah 43, God said through Isaiah regarding Israel’s future I am about to do a brand-new thing.”
  In God’s book, the Holy Bible, there are promises of blessings now and in eternity for those who will seek Him, obey Him and love Him.  The secret of blessing for this New Year is to:  Seek the Lord while He may be found, Call upon Him while He is near.
  Let the wicked forsake his way, And the unrighteous man his thoughts; Let him return to the Lord, And He will have mercy on him; And to our God, For He will abundantly pardon. Isaiah 55:6-7   If you seek Him, He will do a new thing in your life.  It will be the most rewarding, most satisfying, by far the greatest new thing you have ever experienced.  I promise!
