Forget former things
Isaiah 43:18-20 (NIV)
Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. 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.
Forget former things! It will cost you your future to live in the past and that is a far too expensive price to pay. If those former things were negative, then it is time to forget and move on. If those former things were positive, it is time to give thanks for them and move on to the great that God has for you next.
Make sure that you spend your life living for what God is doing now, not forever wandering down memory lane. Memory lane is great to visit every now and then but it is not where we live! To live there would cost you the weekly rental payments of your present and your future.
Isaiah instructs us to "not dwell on the past". Where are you dwelling today? Are you living in a moment that was or a moment that is unfolding? For a lot of you that are reading this today the past you need to leave behind or choose not to live in is a good one, but just because it is good does not mean that we make it our place of residence.
So let's stop living in past failures or victories and set our faces forward today to be a part of what God is doing right now. Remember that even yesterday was your past now.
What makes us step out of the moments that have gone with confidence and passion? When we have a revelation of the next bit of the verse, where God tells us that He is doing a new thing and He invites us to be a part of it, whatever it is and whatever it may look like.
Get hungry for the new thing that God is doing and that will cause you to let go of the old thing.
Have a great day.
