I love this Chapter of the Bible for the sheer hope and comfort it brings.
This word assures that I am certainly not left alone to flounder and be unsure. It lets me know I will conquer since I have the Most High looking out for me because I am part of His Spiritual Israel, His chosen.
Whatever the circumstance, whatever the pressure and the situation, I will not fear or, indeed, be dismayed. He has loved me with an everlasting love and redeemed me at an immeasurable cost.
I have His attention and His eyes – “For the eyes of the LORD run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to shew himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward him.” .. 2 Chronicles 16:9
Isaiah 43: 1-7
1 But now thus saith the LORD that created thee, O Jacob, and he that formed thee, O Israel, Fear not: for I have redeemed thee, I have called thee by thy name; thou art mine. 2 When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee. 3 For I am the LORD thy God, the Holy One of Israel, thy Saviour: I gave Egypt for thy ransom, Ethiopia and Seba for thee. 4 Since thou wast precious in my sight, thou hast been honourable, and I have loved thee: therefore will I give men for thee, and people for thy life. 5 Fear not: for I am with thee: I will bring thy seed from the east, and gather thee from the west; 6 I will say to the north, Give up; and to the south, Keep not back: bring my sons from far, and my daughters from the ends of the earth; 7 Even every one that is called by my name: for I have created him for my glory, I have formed him; yea, I have made him.
