16 Thus says the Lord, whomakes a way in the sea. And a path through the mighty waters, 17 Who brings forth the chariot and horse, The army and the power (They shall lie down together, they shall not rise; They are extinguished, they are quenched like a wick): 18 “Do not remember the former things, Nor consider the things of old. 19 Behold, I will do anew thing, Now it shall spring forth; Shall you not know it? I will even make a road in the wilderness and rivers in the desert.
Isa 43:16-19
Q & A：
- Compare the differences between the Mosaic covenant and the Abrahamic covenant and explain how this helps you to understand the faithfulness of God. Explain what it means to be circumcised in the heart for believers in the New Testament and how have you experienced God in your daily lives in knowing God instead of just know of God. (Isa 43:16-19; Gen 17:10; Rom 2:28-29)
- Do you tend to seek the counsel of God only after you have tried everything based on your own ideals or ways and what lessons have you learnt? Do you find yourself being reluctant to change or make necessary adjustments when God leads you into a new season, which may be out of your comfort zone or incomparable to your past glorious days? (Heb 13:5; Isa 43:18)
- Have you ever experienced the bearing of the witness in your spirit and share how has God been speaking to you? Knowing that God is constant in His character of faithfulness, but we are the ones who need to change, discuss whether you are open to the new thing or path that the Lord is directing your steps and why not? (Rom 8:14-16; Prov 16:9)
