![]() That is why God said “ I am going to do something new. They could remember the former things, but they couldn’t see their future. They could remember that when the enemy was about to overtake them how He provided protection for them. They could remember when they were trapped by the Red Sea and had nowhere to go, how God made away for them. Israel could remember past deliverances and past victories. That is when they begin to remember the former things or past deliverances. Maybe they thought God would not deliver us again, it’s over. They had gone to far, they had sinned and rebelled against God to he point that He would no longer be their God. ![]() Israel no doubt was discouraged because they thought this was the end of them. The fact is that God want to give them a fresh start in life, a new Beginning in life. ![]() God wanted His people to understand that the punishment that they were experiencing would not be the end of them. He wanted them to know that even though they were being punished they were not being forsaken. God wanted to give hope and encouragement to His people. Israel was being punished for their sins and rebellion against God. That’s where you’re going to spend the rest of your life. God is more interested in your future than He is with your past. That all He wants to do is remind them of the things that they have done wrong. Some people think that God is stuck on their past. We need to understand that God is far more interested in our future than He is in our past. ” Listen to what God is saying in this verse. ![]() Instead, look at the new things I’m going to do. Well this morning the good news is according to Isaiah 43:18 “The Lord says, `Forget about what has happened before. The fact all of us here made some mistakes or we made some bad decision that hindered us from doing those things that wanted to do. I’m going to spend more quality time with my family. I am going to pray more, read my bible more and get more involved in my church. Last year some of you said, “ I am going to grow in my relationship with God. What all of us here need this morning is a Fresh Start, a New Beginning with God. ” Aren’t you glad that God wants to do something new in your life? Doesn’t it make you excited to know that God desire to give you a fresh start, a new beginning in life. The good news is, God says, “ I want you to have a fresh start in life, I want you to have a new beginning, I want to do something new in your life. The Devil does not want you to have a fresh start in life. The Devil will remind us of our past in order to keep us from enjoying the life that God gave us to live. In John 10:10 Jesus said, “ I am come that you might have life and have it more abundantly.” Then he goes on to tell us that there is an adversary, called the Devil, that seeks to still, kill and destroy that life. Sometimes we allow these mistakes, these setbacks and failures to enslave us to the point that we never enjoy the full Christian life that God has given us to enjoy. ![]() We have experienced many setbacks and failures throughout our lives. How many of you here this morning, “ would like to have a fresh start in your Christian life? ” Many of us here this morning have made many mistakes in our lives as Christians. ![]()
