Isaiah 43:18-19 — Behold, I Am Doing a New Thing
Isaiah 43:18-19 · Berean Standard Bible
Isaiah 43:18-19 calls us to stop dwelling on the past because God says, '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.' It's the passage for anyone facing a fresh start and needing hope that God can bring life out of dry and difficult seasons. Let go of the former things—God is already at work on something new.
18“Do not call to mind the former things; pay no attention to the things of old.
19Behold, I am about to do something new; even now it is coming. Do you not see it? Indeed, I will make a way in the wilderness and streams in the desert.
