SABRINA Have you ever felt as if God is fed up with you? Perhaps you feel your mistakes are too great to be forgiven. You wish you could go back to a time when things were better. In Isaiah 43:18, Isaiah spoke these words to Israel during a time when they had lost everything and felt God wanted nothing more to do with them. “Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland.” Wherever you find yourself today, God is doing a new thing in your life. This verse from Isaiah teaches us how to embrace all God is doing. Forget the former things. It impossible to see where God is leading if we’re always looking back. Recognize your future now. Just as a seed spouts below the ground before we see evidence of a new flower, God is already at work, we can’t see it yet. Commit to God’s plan. Remember, God doesn’t condemn us, He wants only the best for us. No matter our past, God has already set into motion a new direction and a new purpose for our life. We just have to commit to His plan.
