Read Isaiah 43:16-21
Long ago the Lord made a road through the sea,
a path through the swirling waters.
17
He 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.
19
Watch 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.
20
Even the wild animals will honor me;
jackals and ostriches will praise me
when I make rivers flow in the desert
to give water to my chosen people.
21
They are the people I made for myself,
and they will sing my praises!”

Think
Verse 19: "Watch for a new thing I am going to do..." God tells the people living in exile that he has a more spectacular plan than the plan of Exodus from Egypt - even the wild animals will see and be amazed...
Do you live with expectation knowing that you need not be trapped in the past but you may look forward to a bright future with God?
Do you live with expectation knowing that you need not be trapped in the past but you may look forward to a bright future with God?
Pray
Open my eyes to watch for a new thing.
