Sharing a word today from Isaiah 43:1-2.
1 But now, this is what the LORD says—
he who created you, O Jacob,
he who formed you, O Israel:
“Fear not, for I have redeemed you;
I have summoned you by name; you are mine.
(Did you notice you are created, formed, redeemed, and summons by name? How ’bout the sentence “You are mine.” Yes!)
2 When you pass through the waters,
I will be with you;
and when you pass through the rivers,
they will not sweep over you.
(I find comfort that even though I will pass through waters, God will be with me and He will not let me drowned.)
When you walk through the fire,
you will not be burned;
the flames will not set you ablaze.
(Heat has a way of getting our attention, doesn’t it? Thank You for God not leaving me alone in the fires of life. Thank You for not letting the fire consume me.)
FOR MORE ENCOURAGEMENT, READ THE REST OF ISAIAH 43. 🙂
