Freedom calls your name today. Not the kind that pretends your past never happened, but the liberating truth that it no longer defines who you are.

Day 148 of our journey through God's Word brings us to Isaiah 43, where we discover a powerful promise: "Forget all that—it is nothing compared to what I'm going to do, for I am about to do something new." These words cut straight through the chains many of us drag behind us—regrets, mistakes, and painful memories we can't seem to shake. The enemy's favorite strategy becomes clear: if he can't destroy your future, he'll try to chain you to your past.

But God offers a radical alternative. When you're in Christ, your history isn't a burden you carry; it's a testimony of divine redemption. The difference is transformative. You don't walk in shame but in freedom. God doesn't merely recycle your old life—He completely redeems it. He doesn't just clean you up—He makes you new from the inside out. This devotional challenges us to stop letting guilt drag us backward and to silence those who knew the old you but refuse to acknowledge how you've changed.

Today's message invites you to lift your eyes from what's been buried and focus on the new work God is doing right now. Join us as we explore what it truly means to walk free from the past, embracing the future God has prepared. Ready to leave those chains behind? Listen now, and take your first steps into genuine freedom.

00:00:02.564 --> 00:00:07.394
Welcome to Wisdom for the Day, your daily source for spiritual refreshment and guidance.

00:00:07.394 --> 00:00:08.762
I'm Rick.

00:00:08.762 --> 00:00:13.653
Join me as I dive into God's Word to find clarity and strength for life's challenges.

00:00:13.653 --> 00:00:19.484
Let me help you embrace each day with faith and wisdom, ready to feel inspired.

00:00:19.484 --> 00:00:21.070
Let's get started.

00:00:23.560 --> 00:00:27.707
Today is Day 148, walk Free from the Past.

00:00:27.707 --> 00:00:32.155
From Isaiah, chapter 43, verses 18 and 19,.

00:00:32.155 --> 00:00:41.152
From the New Living Translation If the enemy can't destroy your future, he'll try to chain you to your past.

00:00:41.152 --> 00:00:48.220
Our verse from Isaiah today says but forget all that.

00:00:48.220 --> 00:00:51.768
It is nothing compared to what I'm going to do, for I am about to do something new.

00:00:51.768 --> 00:00:57.404
God isn't asking you to pretend that the past didn't happen.

00:00:57.404 --> 00:01:00.369
He's telling you not to live there anymore.

00:01:01.493 --> 00:01:05.388
When you're in Christ, your past isn't your identity, it's your testimony.

00:01:05.388 --> 00:01:09.603
You don't walk in shame, you walk in freedom.

00:01:09.603 --> 00:01:14.671
You don't carry who you were, you carry what he's done.

00:01:14.671 --> 00:01:21.067
And here's the thing God doesn't recycle your past, he redeems it.

00:01:21.067 --> 00:01:24.974
He doesn't just clean you up, he makes you new.

00:01:24.974 --> 00:01:33.106
And no matter what's in your story, if you'd laid it at the foot of the cross, it no longer defines you.

00:01:33.106 --> 00:01:37.450
So today, walk like you're free.

00:01:37.450 --> 00:01:40.787
Stop letting guilt drag you backward.

00:01:40.787 --> 00:01:46.007
Stop letting people who knew the old you convince you that you haven't changed.

00:01:46.007 --> 00:01:48.703
God's doing something new.

00:01:48.703 --> 00:01:52.189
Don't miss it by staring at what's already buried.

00:01:52.189 --> 00:01:56.201
Let's pray, jesus.

00:01:56.201 --> 00:01:59.909
Thank you for not defining me by my worst moments.

00:01:59.909 --> 00:02:04.441
Help me to walk in freedom, the freedom that you already gave me.

00:02:04.441 --> 00:02:08.888
Silence, the lies of shame, and remind me who I am in you.

00:02:08.888 --> 00:02:18.543
Let today be a step forward, not a return to what's behind In your precious name.

00:02:18.543 --> 00:02:19.145
Amen.

00:02:19.145 --> 00:02:27.462
Well, that's all for today, but I'll be back tomorrow with more of God's Word.
