Thought for the day:
This is what theย Lordย saysโ
ย ย ย ย he who made a way through the sea,
ย ย ย ย a path through the mighty waters,
who drew outย the chariots and horses,
ย ย ย ย the army and reinforcements together,
and they layย there, never to rise again,
ย ย ย ย extinguished, snuffed out like a wick:
โForget the former things;
ย ย ย ย do not dwell on the past.
ย See, I am doing a new thing!
ย ย ย ย Now it springs up; do you not perceive it?
I am making a way in the wilderness
ย ย ย ย and streams in the wasteland.
Isaiah 43:16-19
