Morning — April 9 — Isaiah 43:1

Now this is what the LORD says—He who created you, O Jacob, and He who formed you, O Israel: “Do not fear, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by your name; you are Mine! — Isaiah 43:1The command to stop fearing rests on something already finished. Because the Father gave His people to the Son and paid for their sins through the blood of the flawless Lamb, our safety is as strong as God's own grip. The Redeemer who holds us is greater than any accusation, and His finished work is the only foundation our peace requires.
