Isaiah 43:18-19 (18)“Remember not the former things, nor consider the things of old. (19)Behold, I am doing a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it? I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert.(ESV)
Starting something new often sounds exciting until we realize it means releasing something old. Sometimes that means people, places, habits, ideas, comfort, expectations, or even the version of ourselves we learned how to survive as. God doesn’t call us forward because the past never mattered. He calls us forward because the past isn’t allowed to become our master. If He’s making a way in the wilderness, then clinging to the old road may be the very thing keeping us from seeing the new one.
