Do not dwell in the past. God is doing a new thing!!
See, I am doing a new thing!
Now it springs up; do you not perceive it?
I am making a way in the desert and streams in the wasteland.”
When God wants to do a new thing in your life, the first thing He asks from you is to forget the former things and begin to perceive the new things. Most of us, we find it very difficult to forget the hard and hurting past, which made us go far away from God and to give up in our journey with Him. As long as the past keeps on reminding us about the things we did and when we get trapped into those thoughts, we are unable to perceive what God has kept for us in the next step.
Whatever ugly, hurting or bad your past would have been; God wants you to forget the former things and not to dwell in it. He is promising, that He will do a new thing in your life. Have faith in God, and through that faith, see the new way God is making for you. You may struggle to move beyond; find it hard to find a way. The only thing God asks from you is, to never look behind and keep worrying on whatever happened before. Forget the former things and keep your next step together with God, in faith. He will show you a new way.
He is the God, who has promised to make a way in the desert and streams in the wasteland. He has proven Himself to be faithful and true in many people’s life. He will do it in yours too. Trust in God and move beyond, with His guidance. There is a new way God has prepared for you.
May God bless you.
