Thanks for this talk Tim. I found it really heartening, especially in the light of some of my thoughts in the last couple of weeks about moving on in my own life. Last Sunday someone at my local church quoted me a couple of verses from a passage in Isaiah 43 which reads:

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! ... I am making a way in the desert and streams in the wasteland' (v. 16-19)

Sometimes I can relate all too well to the Israelites looking back at life in Egypt with fondness. The Christian life can seem difficult at times. Nonetheless, there are streams of living water here, and good things grow in our lives as we continue to keep our eyes fixed on the Lord rather than on the past. All the more reason for us all to keep moving forward, despite setbacks and the temptation to look back.
