Isaiah 43:19<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cBehold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

One of the most memorable days for me was to hold our new baby girl, Brenda Joy, in my arms. It was almost breathtaking. Two years later I had the same gasp of joy to hold our son, Daniel Van. It was three years before our precious Lori Renee became the newest addition to our family.<\/p>\n

If we have never experienced a thing before, we cannot fully imagine what it will be like. That\u2019s the expression I am looking for\u2015it\u2019s like!<\/em><\/strong> If we have never had or done something similar, we find ourselves repeating\u2015it\u2019s like!<\/em><\/strong>\u2015it\u2019s like!<\/em><\/strong>\u2015it\u2019s like!<\/em><\/strong> But not being able to adequately put it into words. (This is not the same \u201clike\u201d today\u2019s teenagers use repeatededly.)<\/p>\n

When we try to explain to an unsaved person the experience of the new birth, it is impossible. As one little lady said, \u201cIt is better felt than telt.\u201d The grammar may be wrong, but the meaning is right on!<\/p>\n

All through the Bible we read of things that had never happened before and so would be considered impossible. Let me just mention a few from the life of Moses, and this is by no means the complete list: The burning bush; the calling forth of the plagues on Egypt; the pillar of cloud and fire; the parting of the Red Sea; the manna from heaven, and in forty years their clothing or shoes never wore out.\u00a0<\/p>\n

We are told that one day the sky will rip apart and the Lord Himself will call His saints to join Him in the air. There is no way to explain scientifically how this will happen, but it is not necessary to explain it. \u201cIt will be better felt than telt!\u201d<\/p>\n

Blessings dear hearts. Draw near to God today, trust Him completely and be a blessing!<\/p>\n
