Have you had your JOY JUICE today? God has a new batch prepared especially for
you! Leave yesterday’s and taste today’s
fresh serving of JOY.
In Isaiah
43 we read about the Israelites as they were about to leave Egypt and the
oppression that they had suffered for so long.
They had cried out to God and he heard & delivered them. He told them in verses 18 -19, “Forget
the former things; do not dwell in the past. See, I am doing a new thing. Now
it springs up; do you not perceive it?”
It is easy
to get caught up in the things of the past, isn’t it? And though we never should forget God’s
faithfulness through the years, we don’t need to dwell on the “former things”
that can keep us from being all He intends for us to become. Throughout God’s Word He urges His people to
put the past behind and press forward. God has our future in His hands. We don’t
have to know exactly what that “looks like” until He reveals it in His perfect
timing.
Many of us
try to analyze and write our own set of plans. But there is a big difference in
being prepared and taking control. God
wants us to be prepared by drawing closer to Him with each passing day, growing
spiritually by studying His word and obeying His commands. But never forget
that HE is the one in control…and He knows best! Let’s follow His leading and
find new JOY.
Forget
the former things…and let God do a “new thing” in your life! The “new
thing” will be filled with JOY…made especially for you!
