*SOMETHING NEW IS COMING*
TODAY’S SCRIPTURE
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?”
(Isaiah 43:18-19, NIV)
Isaiah 43:18-19 KJV
[18] Remember ye not the former things, neither consider the things of old.
[19] 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.
TODAY’S WORD
Isaiah’s prophecy in today’s Scripture was directed to the Israelites when they had been in captivity in Babylon for many years. I am sure they thought, “Have you seen how powerful our enemies are? We are stuck. We will never be free, never own our own houses, never live an abundant life.” But GOD says that if you are dwelling on the past, you won’t see the new thing. If you are focused on who hurt you and what was not fair, you will miss your destiny. Living in regrets for former things will keep you from new opportunities. Reliving your mistakes will stop the new favour from springing up. If you are looking back at the old, you won’t see the new.
When you drive your car, there is a big windshield in front of you and a very small rearview mirror. The reason it is so small is because what is behind you is not nearly as important as what is in front of you. Where you are going is what matters, not where you have been. Is there something you need to forget, so you can see the new thing?
A PRAYER FOR TODAY
Father, thank You that You are the GOD who is always doing something new, and Your plans are always good. I believe that even now You are working in ways I do not yet see. I won’t dwell on the past, but I will look forward to the new things You are doing in my life. In JESUS Name, Amen.
