and look; ask for the ancient paths, ask where the good way is, and
walk in it, and you will find rest for your souls.

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.

win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ
Jesus.
