"See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the desert and streams in the wasteland." Isaiah 43:19 (NIV)
This message to the people of God was delivered by the prophet Isaiah as The Lord God had given it to him. He began by saying "Thus saith The LORD ..." (Isaiah 43:16) The message to the believers was that The Lord made a way for the people in the past, and that He will make a way for them, even in the wilderness.
The Lord God made a way for His people out of Egypt (Exodus 3:10 to13:3), across the Red Sea (Exodus 14:21-22), and He provided food and water for them in the wilderness. (Exodus 16:4-18 and Exodus 17:2-6) He made a way when there appeared to be no way out of a bad situation in the past, and He will make a way out of a bad situation when there appears to be no way out now and in the future. Believers can trust Him and know that He will never leave or forsake His own. (Deuteronomy 31:6 and Hebrews 13:5)
