"This is what the Lord says—
he who made a way through the sea,
a path through the mighty waters,
“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."
—Isaiah 43:16, 18-19 NIV
