I am reflecting on the amazing comfort of Isaiah 43 this week. I hope you will be encouraged too. 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. 2 When you pass through the waters, I will be Continue Reading
