“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.” — Isaiah 43:18-19 (NIV)
Daily Dispatch:
Every new day is a gift from God, filled with fresh opportunities and chances to start anew. Sometimes, it’s easy to get caught up in the past—whether it’s mistakes we’ve made, regrets we hold, or challenges we’ve faced. But God calls us to move forward with faith and gratitude, recognizing that He is always at work, creating new paths and possibilities for us.
DVIR:
Think about a time when you faced a new beginning. Maybe it was a new job, a move to a different place, or a change in your personal life. How did you feel? Were you excited, nervous, or uncertain? It’s normal to have mixed emotions when stepping into something new. However, embracing new opportunities with gratitude can transform our outlook and experience.
Gratitude shifts our focus from what we don’t have to what we do have. It allows us to see God’s hand at work, even in unexpected situations. When we approach each day with a thankful heart, we become more open to the blessings and opportunities God has in store for us. Remember, God is making a way for you, even in the wilderness. Trust in His plan and embrace each new day with a spirit of gratitude.
