‘Forget the former things;
do not dwell on the past.
See, I am doing a new thing! Isaiah 43:18-19
At this time when Lockdown is easing and things are reopening it is important that we heed the words of the prophet Isaiah not to dwell on the past – not to spend our time thinking about how things used to be before Lockdown.
Instead Isaiah is calling us to see how God is doing a new thing. We need to observe wha God is doing. Observe the new things which are springing up. We need to see the path which God is making. We need to see the way forward which God is creating in the apparent wilderness of the future.
