Isaiah 43:19

"“Don’t remember the former things, and don’t consider the things of old."

Key Reflection

This verse encourages believers to focus on the present and future blessings rather than dwelling on past failures or hardships. By letting go of the old, one can embrace new opportunities for faith and redemption that God offers in the present moment.

From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

I will do a new thing -Something that has not hitherto occurred, some unheard of and wonderful event, that shall far surpass all that he had formerly done (see the note atIsaiah 42:9). Now it shall spring forth -(See the note atIsaiah 42:9). It shall spring up as the grass does from the earth; or it shall bud forth like the opening leaves and flowers - a beautiful figure, denoting the manner in which the events of Divine Providence come to pass. I will even make a way in the wilderness -In this part of the verse, the prophet describes the anxious care which God would show in protecting his people, and providing for them in conducting them to their native land.
