“Do not remember the former things, Nor consider the things of old. Behold, I will do a new thing, Now it shall spring forth; Shall you not know it? I will even make a road in the wilderness And rivers in the desert,” Isaiah 43:18-19 NKJV
Some things should move with us. Memories. Love. Lessons learned. Others are meant to be forgotten and buried such as regret, disappointment, and fear.
Spring as a verb means to move in a forward direction; it also suggests momentum and height. Some of us have lost our momentum. We may not be stretching ourselves to attain the heights God wants us to achieve.
It takes effort to let go of pain and hurt. Remaining somber and disgusted doesn’t allow painful memories and emotions to fade. It takes determination to forgive, forget, and reset.
Now is the time to renew our minds and embrace new opportunities. As fresh buds bloom and we transition to a new season, consider the new thing God may be asking of you.
Behold, I will do a new thing, Now it shall spring forth; Shall you not know it? I will even make a road in the wilderness And rivers in the desert. Isaiah 43:19 NKJV
This is such a beautiful post, Lilka. I love the “spring” in the verse of Isaiah 43:18-19 ties in with the season spring where everything is bursting in life. 🌱

Hi Lilka, I really needed this post. I am grieving over yet another loss of a beloved pet. Granted she was maybe 13 or 14, but it was really hard. I am needing lots of prayer to spring forward. I still have 3 dogs, another of whom is also 14. And two cats. I will get there. But some days are very hard. God is with me. I pray you are well. Take care.

I am a firm believer that some angels have paws. I’ve been fortunate to have several pets live long and healthy lives but it doesn’t lessen the pain when we lose them. Praying for you.
