If God says He's going to bless you, then ignore the circumstances and believe the God who cannot lie. You're too important to God to be destroyed by a situation that was only meant to give you character and direction. It was the grace of God that enabled you to survive and make it through. God proved that He can bring you out of the fire without even the smell of smoke, and out of the lions den without so much as a bite mark. If you want to know what God can do for you, look at what He's already done for you - and start praising Him.

And that's not all. Listen: "Behold I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth". After feeling like you've waited forever, God will suddenly move. If you're not ready you'll miss Him.

When the Church was born we read, "Suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting" (Acts 2:2). When God decided to bring Paul and Silas out of prison we read, "And suddenly there was a great earthquake ... and immediately all the doors were opened" (Acts 16:26). Are you ready for God to move suddenly? Are you ready for the doors to open?

The word to you today is, "I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth."

May God add a blessing to the reading of His Word!
