“The Lord says, ‘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. It is happening already—you can see it now!’” (Isaiah 43: 18-19, Good News Translation)

The Lord is telling us the Truth, providing us with the wisest direction for life.

God is Life and He knows how our lives will best express this quality of Being. To really experience the life that is good, right, peaceful, free, joyous, and satisfying, we can listen to God and do what He says so very clearly in this verse:

Stop clinging to past events, to yesterday’s situations or even to old thinking. The past may seem to want our attention, to demand power over us today. But there is no past in God’s presence, His presentness, and it is only our clinging to it, our holding to the past and focusing on it, that limits our living today and tomorrow.

Instead, we can watch for the new thing. God, infinite Life, always has something fresh to show us, for us to learn and experience. Right now, there are new and progressive joys to discover.

When we stop looking behind us, clinging to yesterday as if it’s all we have, as if it has the answers, we can see the new glories, the new stories, that God is revealing for us today.
