He's Doing a New Thing

Forget the former things, do not dwell on the past. Behold, I will do a new thing! Now it springs up; do you perceive it? I will make a way in the desert and streams in the wastelands. Isaiah 43:18-19

This scripture is very powerful in that it talks of the divine power of God. He has such power to change people, circumstances, and situations. It is because of His power to make a way through it all that we must do what this scripture is requiring of us to do: Do not dwell on the past. And that my friend, is the hard part.

We have all have had to in some form in our lives,.... move on. It may be moving on from friendships, relationships, jobs, family, events, circumstances, hurts, etc. Let's face it, in life, we just encounter a constant flow of change. Just think of how we thought we would never get over that first boyfriend/girlfriend. Do you even remember their name now?(I know that you probably remember their name, Im just proving a point :-)) And think about how a lot of us do not even talk to the people that we were convinced in high school was going to be our BFF (Best Friends Forever). We change, they change, and then we find out what we had in common then.... is not what we have in common now. This why God is calling us to let go and "forget" those things that he has called us from. And we want to do what He said because, He promised that He is going to do a new thing in our lives. God has a plan for us and He knows our heart's desires and what we need even more than we do ourselves! He has a purpose for each and every one of us, but if we continually hold on to the past, we cannot truly achieve and receive all that He has for us.

So, Move on and Keep on. Let go and Let God. He is doing a new thing.... in You!
