📖 Isaiah 43:18 “Forget the former things.”
Maybe yesterday wasn’t great. You lost your temper. You failed a test. You felt stuck, ignored, or forgotten. But the Bible says: “Forget the former things.” Why? Because God is doing something new, today. Our God can make a way in the wilderness and bring streams in the wasteland.
When I moved to a new country, I didn’t know anyone. I couldn’t speak the language. I felt lost for a while. But then I made a choice, I stopped focusing on everything I couldn’t do, and I picked one small thing I could do. I smiled. I learned one new word. That was the beginning.
đź“Ś Your past doesn’t define you, God offers new beginnings every day.Â
🙏 Prayer: God, help me to let go of what’s behind me and trust You with what’s ahead. I believe You are doing something new, even for me. Help me to start small, trust You, and take one step forward today. Amen.
🔥 Challenge: Try again at something you gave up on. Do it with God this time. Even small steps can become new beginnings. Look at page 10 of our new workbook for an activity to help you with this.
