Isaiah 43:18-19 says “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 wilderness and streams in the wasteland.” The context of this Scripture begins with Isaiah 43:14-17 where Isaiah was writing to God’s people in captivity in Babylon. This section pictures a new exodus for a people once again oppressed, as the Israelites had been as slaves in Egypt before the Exodus. They would cry to God, and again He would hear and deliver them. God is calling us, through this Scripture, to look to Him, not at our circumstances, and to focus on our freedom in Christ, not on our perceived “slavery” to world events. God is saying to us, to stop looking behind, and that we must not
expect past victories to sustain us, neither must we allow past failures to paralyse us. We must understand that some people will not want us to change. Our change may threaten them. But God created us to change and grow. So grow and change, because old things shall pass away, and new things will begin to happen.

In life, every new beginning we face is a step of faith because we don’t know what events will transpire. the Bible a promise to call their own. It may be the best-loved promise of Jeremiah 29:11 says “For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.” No matter what change may come and whatever new beginning awaits us, God is with us always. Know and believe God has put certain things in our path and has given us various opportunities so He could prepare us for our purpose. We need to learn and trust God and allow these opportunities to grow us, develop us, and increase our faith. God is about to do something new in our life. He didn’t create us to get stuck at one level and stay there. He has new opportunities, new relationships, new favour. We must allow God to take control and start looking ahead rather than looking back and we’ll start to see God bringing newness into our life. But we must anticipate that God is doing something great.

As believers, we must understand that there’s an end to every dispensation, era or season; the end of one day begets another. The hands of time never go back and each day the sun rises, there is always hope for something new to happen. No bad condition is permanent; and the down fall of a man is never the end of his life. Our background does not mean we should lay our back on the ground; stand strong and move on; there is hope of a new thing. In Isaiah 43:18-19, God is simply telling us that we should not let our past interfere in our present; instead we should concentrate on the present and what God is determined to do. Our past is all about us, but our present and future is all about God. He says He will do a new thing; His Word does not fail, hold on to it, He is not man that He should lie; as we begin to have a closer and personal relationship with God through the help of the Holy Spirit, through His Word, with prayer and faith and with hard work, we will see things turning around for us. God has unprecedented favour, our time is coming, and He is doing a new thing in our life and exceed your expectations. May God’s promise and assurance to do a new thing and be fulfilled in our life, in Jesus’ name. Let God do a new thing in our hearts, and create in us a pure heart, and renew a steadfast spirit within us (Psalm 51:10). Wanting a new thing from God without a renewal in our hearts is of no use and will have no eternal value. The heart provides needed “blood flow” to the rest of our spiritual being. God wants to renew our hearts. For those yet to surrender their lives to Jesus, this is not negotiable, do so now, tomorrow might be too late. DO IT NOW! STAY SAFE! STAY HEALTHY! STAY FIRM! STAY STRONG! STAY IN FAITH! STAY POSITIVE! STAY CONNECTED! STAY BLESSED!
