SPRING FORTH NOW 2025

Monday, January 6, 2025

I form the light and create darkness, I bring prosperity and create disaster; I, the Lord, do all these things.  “You heavens above, rain down my righteousness; let the clouds shower it down.  Let the earth open wide, let salvation spring up, let righteousness flourish with it; I, the Lord, have created it.  “Woe to those who quarrel with their Maker, those who are nothing but potsherds among the potsherds on the ground.  Does the clay say to the potter, ‘What are you making?’  Does your work say, ‘The potter has no hands’?  Woe to the one who says to a father, ‘What have you begotten?’  or to a mother, ‘What have you brought to birth?’  “This is what the Lord says—the Holy One of Israel, and its Maker: Concerning things to come, do you question me about my children, or give me orders about the work of my hands?  It is I who made the earth and created mankind on it.  My own hands stretched out the heavens; I marshaled their starry hosts.  I will raise up Cyrus in my righteousness: I will make all his ways straight.  He will rebuild my city and set my exiles free, but not for a price or reward, says the Lord Almighty.”

Isaiah 45:7-13 (NIV)

God intentionally chose you and, as a result, designed a pathway for you to achieve that which He has purposed: His revelation and your enjoying life and life more abundantly.  God has created all things and all things He created for Him, it is His desire and purpose to be revealed, and He has promised to reward you for diligently pursuing, responding to His call, His created purpose for your life.  Thus, God knows what you will need to fulfill your purpose but also that which will feed you, provide an incentive for you to continue going forward, Hidden Treasures so that you can see and seize your opportunities and possibilities, your Hidden Manna.   Remember, nothing happens by happenstance or accident; it is all Divinely ordered, God has a purpose, and He is working His purpose through you and your life, your pathway not for price or reward but instead for His glory, revelation, and will.
