Into the Unknown!



18 “But forget all that—
    it is nothing compared to what I am going to do.
19 For I am about to do something new.
    See, I have already begun! Do you not see it?
I will make a pathway through the wilderness.
    I will create rivers in the dry wasteland.






Sometimes we don't see the possibilities, but the problems.  Don't we enjoy new things?  However, sometimes we push back.  We push back because...



1. It's unclear.  


Stress is at it's highest while facing the unknown.  There is even less stress when we know something bad is about to happen.  




2.  It's unsettled.  


You can't make up your mind.



3.  It's uncontrollable. 


Our prayers tend to be telling God what  to do.  God does his best work in the unknown.  We can have control or growth in our faith.  We can't have both. 




We must remember that...



1. God is for us.  




Mark 9:21-23 (NLT)
21 “How long has this been happening?” Jesus asked the boy’s father.
He replied, “Since he was a little boy. 
22 The spirit often throws him into the fire or into water, trying to kill him. Have mercy on us and help us, if you can.”
23 “What do you mean, ‘If I can’?” Jesus asked. “Anything is possible if a person believes.”




2. Anything is possible.  




I don't have to hold onto facts when faith is stirred up in my heart.  




Hebrews 11:8 (NLT)
It was by faith that Abraham obeyed when God called him to leave home and go to another land that God would give him as his inheritance. He went without knowing where he was going.
