Isaiah 43

Isaiah 43:1-2, 7, 10, 18-20, 26 NKJV 1 But now, thus says the LORD, who created you, O Jacob, And He who formed you, O Israel: "Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have called [you] by your name; You [are] Mine. 2 When you pass through the waters, I [will be] with you; And through the rivers, they shall not overflow you. When you walk through the fire, you shall not be burned, Nor shall the flame scorch you. ... 7 Everyone who is called by My name, Whom I have created for My glory; I have formed him, yes, I have made him." ... 10 "You [are] My witnesses," says the LORD, "And My servant whom I have chosen, That you may know and believe Me, And understand that I [am] He. Before Me there was no God formed, Nor shall there be after Me. ... 18 "Do not remember the former things, Nor consider the things of old. 19 Behold, I will do a new thing, Now it shall spring forth; Shall you not know it? I will even make a road in the wilderness [And] rivers in the desert. 20 The beast of the field will honor Me, The jackals and the ostriches, Because I give waters in the wilderness [And] rivers in the desert, To give drink to My people, My chosen. ... 26 Put Me in remembrance; Let us contend together; State your [case], that you may be acquitted. This chapter of Isaiah makes a few things abundantly clear: 1.         God calls us by our names2.        We are redeemed so we don’t have to be afraid of anything3.        The river and the fire- though they come, will not over take us or consume us.4.        God wants us so close to Him that we are open to and recognize when He is doing a new thing and to identify that new thing He is doing5.        God wants to acquit us because Jesus became our payment for wrong done     Don't forget to like and subscribe! Thanks for tuning in.Be blessed to be a blessing!Check us out on our site at: https://www.waterwindwine.org
