God speaks in wonderous ways....His wonders to perform.

Isaiah 43:

16 This is what the LORD says—
  he who made a way through the sea,
  a path through the mighty waters,
17 who drew out the chariots and horses,
  the army and reinforcements together,
and they lay there, never to rise again,
  extinguished, snuffed out like a wick:
***18 “Forget the former things;
  do not dwell on the past.
***19 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 44:

1 “But now listen, Jacob, my servant,
  Israel, whom I have chosen.
2 This is what the LORD says—
  he who made you, who formed you in the womb,
  and who will help you:
Do not be afraid, Jacob, my servant,
  Jeshurun, whom I have chosen.
3 For I will pour water on the thirsty land,
  and streams on the dry ground;
I will pour out my Spirit on your offspring,
  and my blessing on your descendants.
4 They will spring up like grass in a meadow,
  like poplar trees by flowing streams.
5 Some will say, ‘I belong to the LORD’;
  others will call themselves by the name of Jacob;
still others will write on their hand, ‘The LORD’s,’
  and will take the name Israel.
6 “This is what the LORD says—
  Israel’s King and Redeemer, the LORD Almighty:
I am the first and I am the last;
  apart from me there is no God.
7 Who then is like me? Let him proclaim it.
  Let him declare and lay out before me
what has happened since I established my ancient people,
  and what is yet to come—
  yes, let them foretell what will come.
8 Do not tremble, do not be afraid.
  Did I not proclaim this and foretell it long ago?
You are my witnesses. Is there any God besides me?
  No, there is no other Rock; I know not one.”
