Isaiah 43:18-19 NIKJV; Clock image from sxc.hu
I just love this passage from the Bible and it fits in so well with the start of the New Year.
Instead of carrying over the baggage of the last year, year before or any of the years, isn’t it time to just let go, move forward and grow as God wants us to.
Reading Isaiah 43:18-19….it is a reminder that each day really is a new day and we can’t let ourselves be held in bondage over things we cannot change, over things that are not in our control and be so held by the past, that we miss the blessings of today and the promise of tomorrow.
It’s not going to be easy, is it?
And no one says it will be or it is suppose to be.
What is possible, is the courage to look forward and take advantage of what the promises of tomorrow can be, no matter how easy it is to pull up pictures of the past and think “What if”, “Would’ve”, “Should’ve”, or “Could’ve”.
We could easily just give up or we can say to ourselves, no matter what, God has given us a new day and no matter what, make the best of what has been given and see it through.
How about you? Share your thoughts of how Isaiah 43:18-19 inspires you!

I love this verse…I have it on a bookmark I found in a bookstore in Istanbul and I keep it in my Bible.
May God richly bless your year!
