“Do not remember the former things,
Behold, I will do a new thing,
Now it shall spring forth;
Shall you not know it?
I will even make a road in the wilderness
And rivers in the desert.”
Isaiah 43:18-19 (New King James version)
How wonderful it is that with this New Year we can remember the promise of God to make us new again, too. No matter what has happened this last year, no matter what trials have beset us, this is our hope. The Lord tells us not to remember the old and to look forward because he will do a new thing. He gives us assurances that He cares for us, that He will provide the path for us, make a road in the wilderness and give us not only drink in the desert – but a river, an everlasting flow of water to quench our thirst and to nourish our spirits. What a promise! I hope as I move through this New Year I will watch for the new things God does in my life. I hope that I will watch for the road He will make for me and that I will see what He has prepared for me. May He always be praised.
