Isaiah usually says to remember what God has done. But here, suddenly, God reverses course: stop remembering! First, God reminds them that he is a God who saves. After Moses led the people on dry ground through the middle of the Red Sea, Yahweh snuffed out Pharaoh's army like a candle wick. Remembering the Exodus is like celebrating Independence Day. It's how former slaves in Egypt became the God-formed nation of Israel. So, why does God want them to forget it? Because God's people had written a script for God. Waiting in exile, they were waiting for The Exodus Part II. And when God didn't deliver on their expectations, they saw him as a failure. Isaiah stuns us: At the Exodus, God turned water into dry land. But now, he'll turn dry land into water. Same God, opposite method. The Spirit blows where it will! If the people insisted on looking for a dry path through the sea, they would miss the river in the desert. We often miss the new thing God is doing because we're too busy waiting for a rerun of the old thing. God is not a DoorDash driver who delivers what we order. He is the Creator, inviting us into his story. He wants us to become the kind of people who can see a river where everyone else sees sand. Take a moment to notice what God is making new. Do you not see it?
