A New Thing

"Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. 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 43:18-19

What "new thing" is God attempting to do in your life? Are you resisting the change, afraid to let go of what you used to know, or are you trusting God for all that is ahead? There is no allowance in this passage of Scripture for wavering in and out of the past. God's Word is incredibly clear on this issue. He says that we must forget the past! Don't ignore it, push it to the back of your memory, then allow it to resurface every once in a while. Forget it!

Praying that we can take this command from Scripture literally today, focusing on all that God is presently working on in our lives.
