A New Thing Can Begin
Scripture
Behold, 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.

Devotional
When a career ends, the familiar map can disappear. The days may open before you like a wilderness: wide, quiet, and unfamiliar. God does not scold you for feeling unsure there. He simply asks you to look again. He is not limited to the roads that once defined your life. The new thing may not arrive as a grand announcement. It may begin as renewed patience with a grandchild, a neighbor who needs listening, a skill you now have time to offer, or a deeper hunger for prayer. God can make a way where you cannot yet see one. Your assignment is not to force the future. It is to stay awake to the small signs of life He is bringing forth.
Reflection
What small sign of new life have I been too busy, tired, or afraid to notice?
Prayer
Lord, help me notice the new thing You are growing in this season. Give me hope when the path is not yet clear. Amen.
