Do not allow the former people, places, things, ideas, thoughts, mistakes, sins etc. keep you in the wilderness or desert of the past. Forget it and reach for what God has set ahead of you. Isaiah 43:18-19 Remember ye not the former things, neither consider the things of old. 19Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert.
