Isaiah 43:18-19 (NKJV): Do not remember the former things, nor consider the things of old. Behold, I will do a new thing… I will even make a road in the wilderness and rivers in the desert.
Everyone has a past. Maybe you’ve made some bad decisions and have lots of regrets over hurt you’ve caused yourself and others. Maybe you’re just frustrated by your lack of intentionality or how you haven’t used your time or gifts wisely.
Satan would have you beat yourself up over what you have or haven’t done but God tells you DO NOT REMEMBER! He has done a new thing in you and your life. He will make a road in the crazy wilderness you have created or a river in the desert of your procrastination and inactivity.
Awesome Father, thank You for being all knowing yet able to forget our past. Help us to remember that in Jesus we are a new creation. Please forgive us when we listen to lies that tell us we have to live in the past. Amen.
