God is doing a new thing! Notice that in this scripture He says “I am doing a new thing,” not “I will” or “I could” or “I might.”
Behold, I am doing a new thing now it springs forth, do you not perceive it?. This made me realize that I couldn’t get those years back that were filled with abuse and make them right, but I could get them off my mind. Isaiah 43:18-19 says, Remember not the former things, nor consider the things of old. It was time for a new beginning in my life! I realized that I needed to change, and I needed the power of God’s Word to work in me so I could change the way I think and talk, and so I could get a godly attitude. I had a very negative mindset and was miserable most of the time because of the abuse I had experienced throughout my childhood.īut as I spent time studying the Word, I began to see that I needed to do something besides complain about my past. I was in my late thirties when my eyes were opened to truth in God’s Word that showed me I wasn’t living the abundant life Jesus died for me to have. Let Go of the Past and Get a New Beginning
And the simple truth is, if we will do what we can do, God will do what we cannot do. What we need to do during these times is get stirred up with a determination that comes from the Holy Spirit in us and declare, “I’m going to do what I can do to change this!”Īs Christians, we’re partners with God this means He has a part and we have a part. Some people get angry, some have a victim mentality and blame others for their mess, some get depressed, and others just sink into self-pity.
We know something needs to change, but we get stuck in procrastination or a passive mode, waiting for someone else to do what we need to do. Much of the time we complain and say we want change, yet we don’t do anything about it. So what do we do when life is out of order and we need a change?

It’s easy to feel this way when life gets stressful and we’re overwhelmed - like when our schedules are too full and we’re working too hard and have too many commitments. Have you ever heard someone say, “Something needs to change!” Or maybe you’ve said it yourself.
