Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland. Isaiah 43:18 NIV 

God leads us from the past and prepares us for the future. He reminds us why it’s okay to STOP looking back. He covers us in strength for TODAY and helps us learn how it feels to totally TRUST. 

Circumstances form powerful opportunities for God to transform us. They ready us to seek His guidance and allow us to remember who handles our days. They shape our thoughts and ready us to welcome Jesus. And, they teach us what it means to be faithful. 

When we seek Him, we should pay attention to what’s happening in our lives. In order to do something for His glory, we must experience how it feels to be humbled. God will provide the way for us to receive Him. He will help us feel grateful in the presence of His love. 

God will make a way in the wilderness and bring water to the dryness of our souls. He will show us how to move from the past and keep on going…He will renew our hearts! He will give us purpose to remain faithful. And, He will give us strength to find HOPE in the blessing of TODAY!

Dear God, Thank you for Your presence in our lives. Thank you for preparing us to TRUST. Help us stop looking back, so we can fix our eyes on YOU and focus on what's to come. Help us feel the power of Your greatness, so we will be gratefully renewed. And, help us surrender everything that separates us from You. Amen
