Leave the Past Behind and Embrace a New Beginning

Isaiah 43:18–19 reminds us not to dwell on former disappointments: God can bring new opportunities and fresh beginnings. Speed skater Dan Jansen faced repeated Olympic setbacks, including painful falls in key races. Rather than giving up, he rebuilt his confidence, focused on his preparation and entered the 1994 Olympic 1,000-metre race determined to stay composed. Even after nearly stumbling again, he kept going and won gold with a world-record performance. His story is a reminder that past failures do not have to define the future. Trust God, learn from what happened and keep moving forward.
