Read Isaiah 43:16-21

¹⁶Long ago the Lord made a road through the sea,

a path through the swirling waters.

¹⁷He led a mighty army to destruction,

an army of chariots and horses.

Down they fell, never to rise,

snuffed out like the flame of a lamp!

18 But the Lord says,

“Do not cling to events of the past

or dwell on what happened long ago.

¹⁹Watch for the new thing I am going to do.

It is happening already—you can see it now!

I will make a road through the wilderness

and give you streams of water there.

²⁰Even the wild animals will honour me;

jackals and ostriches will praise me

when I make rivers flow in the desert

to give water to my chosen people.

²¹They are the people I made for myself,

and they will sing my praises!”

When the people of Israel are in exile - Isaiah faithfully proclaims the hope that God will rescue them:

"Do not cling to events of the past or dwell on what happened long ago. Watch for the new thing I am going to do..."

- Isaiah 43:18-19

Ask God to help you to 'watch for the new things' that he is going to do.
