THE GOD WHO GOES BEFORE US

Isaiah 43:18-19. 18 “Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. 19 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.

Key verse: “See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it?”— Isaiah 43:19
