The Antidote for Anxiety and Depression: Trust in Abba Father’s Care – Pt 80
God Will Miraculously Do a New Thing!
Remember ye not the former things, neither consider the things of old. Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert.
– Isaiah 43:18-19
In the past you have encountered situations in life that you didn’t always treat with rationally. Consequently, you behaved in ways that you are displeased with and even felt ashamed. You have also been judged by your experiences and labelled negatively by others. Your struggle with anxiety and depression has made it difficult for you to forget those unpleasant encounters and move on. You are trapped in your reminiscences of the former things dreaming of a brighter future but would not step out lest you fail. Meanwhile, God is working in your life, perfecting all that concerns you (see Psalm 138:8) and bringing you into perfection in preparation for purpose yet you are oblivious of what He is doing.
God’s incredible work in your life is evident in your interaction with others so much so that they are being blessed by you. However, you are unable to perceive it because you are blinded by the memories of your past experiences. Nevertheless, God will miraculously do a new thing for you that shall suddenly appear like the morning when the sun rises, visible for all to see – new dreams, new vision, new strategies, new opportunities, new strength, new ways of thinking, new hope, new love, new discipline, new beginning, new ministry. However, for you to know it He is saying to you today do not recall, mention, mark to be recognized, recount, record, think on, think about, acknowledge, make known, whether silently, verbally, or means of a memorial sign or symbol, neither be discreet, separate or distinguish mentally, discern, perceive, observe, pay attention to the past struggles, mistakes, et cetera that you have experienced and were defined by.
To stay focused on your past is to remain powerless and dejected thus forfeiting your deliverance. You can’t see the way forward if your eyes are fixed behind on the former things. It therefore behoves you to look to God’s great power rather than your limitations to recognize the new thing that shall spring forth.
God bless you!
MY PRAYER FOR TODAY
Heavenly Father, I worship You. Thank You for the miraculous new thing that You will do in my like. I declare that I will remember no more the things of my past that prevent me from moving forward in victory. Therefore, I fix my eyes on the great power of God to behold His wonderous work in and through me. I pray this by faith in Jesus’ precious name with thanksgiving. Amen!
