Behold, I will do a new thing, Now it shall spring forth; Shall you not know it? I will even make a road in the wilderness And rivers in the desert. Isaiah 43:19
This word ‘know’ is the same as perceive. It is saying ‘will you recognize it when I do a new thing?
Wouldn’t it be sad for God to do something BIG and NEW in your life and you couldn’t even recognize it? I think so. But this can happen if we don’t LIFT UP OUR EYES and see it from God’s point of view.
He is saying ‘lift up your eyes, look only to me, eyes on me, eyes on me.’ In this He is saying ‘give ME your full attention, look only to ME for what you need done in your life. Lift UP your eyes, come to a new level in ME and see from My point of view, then, and only then, you will not miss what I am doing in your life….eyes on Me.’
Well, Lot looked around, and he found a place that he thought would be perfect for he and his family. The Bible calls it… Was east. It was towards the Jordan. It was lush in foliage. It was a city that was bustling. It was places of opportunity, so Lot choose that part of the land. When Abraham looked the other direction, what he saw was dirt. He saw was dust. No development, just land, and he thought to himself, “Wow. What in the world have I gotten myself into”? But see, it was at that point that God spoke to Abraham, and he said, “Abraham, lift up your eyes now. Lift up your eyes now. Look out as far as you can see from the north, the south, the east, and the west”. He said, “What you can see, the land that you can see, I will give it to you. I will give it to you”.
