Isaiah 43:15-21

I am the Lord, your Holy One. I made Israel. I am your king.” This is what the Lord says. He is the one who made a road through the sea. Even through rough waters he made a path for his people. He is the one who defeated the chariots and horses. He defeated the mighty armies. They fell together, and they will never rise again. They were destroyed as a flame is put out. The Lord says, “Forget what happened before. Do not think about the past. Look at the new thing I am going to do. It is already happening. Don’t you see it? I will make a road in the desert. I will make rivers in the dry land. Even the wild animals will be thankful to me. The wild dogs and owls will honor me. They will honor me when I put water in the desert. They will honor me when I make rivers in the dry land. I will do this to give water to my people, the ones I chose. These are the people I made. And they will sing songs to praise me.
