Isaiah 43:16-19 (NIV) This is what the LORD says—
he who made a way through the sea,
a path through the mighty waters,
who drew out the chariots and horses,
the army and reinforcements together,
and they lay there, never to rise again,
extinguished, snuffed out like a wick:
“Forget the former things;
do not dwell on the past.
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.+

Written by Jung

Perhaps it narrates how we lose sight of Jesus.

We all agree that He has been there for us. He has been our strength and encouragement as we live our lives.

What the LORD is saying through Isaiah is that He loved, protected, and brought victory to Israel, but Israel lost sight of Him by continually expecting the same thing over and over again. When challenges came, they placed their hope in idols and foreigners.

Jesus is not only a helper who makes our lives a bit easier. He is the one who will lead us to the kingdom of heaven. This means our journey with Him will often be unpredictable and scary.

When this happens, don’t expect the same provisions or comforts that were given to you before by Jesus. Instead, fix your eyes upon Him and see what new things He may be doing.

These new things will help us grow, become stronger, and experience even more joy.

It is a tough journey, but a wonderful one.
