do not dwell on the past.
19 See, I am doing a new thing!
Now it springs up; do you not perceive it?
I am making a way in the wilderness
and streams in the wasteland.
You have seen victories in the past. Trials, troubles, and tribulations came their way, but the LORD saw you through them to a place of victory.
The LORD opened up ways for you where there were no ways and the people causing trouble for you disappeared like Pharaoh's army under the waves.
The verse in Isaiah 43:18 says "But, forget all that." The LORD is about to do something new in your life that will make the victories that came before seem like nothing.
The troubles are many and the enemies are strong, but the LORD is about to go into action on your behalf in ways you never thought or imagined were possible.
Indeed, the approaching victory is already there on the horizon.
The LORD has already begun to create the conditions necessary for you to come through what seemed like a permanent dead end.
Look up, see, and take heart!
The LORD has decided that the time has come to show you the way out of all the problems. There will be a pathway you can follow so you won't get lost and there will be rivers to refresh you as you walk along.
Then you will come to the end of the pathway and the victory will be yours in all its fullness. Your heart will soar as you marvel at the power and goodness of the LORD. Your friends and family will rejoice with you and give glory to God.
And you will honor Him by proclaiming to everyone who will listen that there is nothing too hard for the LORD (Genesis 18:14).
