Isaiah 43:18-19 (NIV)
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.
God is the God of second chances and a thousand chances plus! The Bible is full of people who got a second chance. Abraham, who is called the father of faith, pretended his wife was his sister because he didn’t have faith that God would protect him. Moses murdered someone.
Jonah ran from his assignment. Rahab worked as a prostitute and is in the lineage of The Lord Jesus. David committed adultery and had the woman’s husband killed and yet all those aforementioned are in God’s “hall of fame”, in Hebrews 11. God loves to give second chances, He’s a God of grace! This is the GoodNews we preach! If you had to score points to receive God’s grace, no one would stand a chance!
So, forget the former things and don’t dwell on the past. God has started a new thing in you. Embrace it, grow in the Word and in grace, and never look back! The old you is long dead!
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
I thank God for second chances. I look ahead with no guilt or shame of my former self. My life is a testimony of God’s grace, and I will continue to shine in Jesus Mighty Name!
