God's Track Record Builds Trust
Commentators explain that God points to His fulfilled past prophecies ('the former things') as the foundation for trusting His future promises ('new things'). By reminding Israel of His perfect track record, God provides a logical and experiential basis for faith. This principle encourages believers today to recall God's past faithfulness in their own lives and in Scripture as a reason to trust Him with the future.
