Isaiah 43:25 (KJV) I, even I, am he that blotteth out thy transgressions for mine own sake and will not remember thy sins.

Our Heavenly Father wants to give us His most precious gift, but we need to come to God and ask Him for this priceless gift. We have the assurance that if we asked, God will give us the Holy Spirit. There is no doubt that the gift of the Holy Spirit is a great gift, but if we don’t value this gift, then we won’t even ask our Heavenly Father for this gift. Just like our earthly fathers have given us many blessings, our Heavenly Father gives us countless blessings including His most treasured gift, the Holy Spirit. Once we receive this most cherished gift, we welcome His presence and submit to the influence and leading of the Holy Spirit, the Most Precious Gift!

Isaiah 43:2 (KJV) 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.

In today’s focus scripture, the psalmist remembered that the LORD was the only One who could lift his head up and give him the comfort he needed to keep pressing forward.  We too must come to realize that when we are experiencing our darkest hour; and troubles keep on mounting, God is our only source of strength and encouragement to lift our heads. It is during those times our faith and trust in God will make the difference because our strength comes from God!  He’s A Lifter!

Isaiah 43:1 (KJV) 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.

As God's children, we are confident that He loves us, watches, protects, and defends us. God is a strong tower, a place of defense for His children, so we can find true security in God. Many people go through life without enjoying this type of security. People pay a lot of money for security, but only God can make us secure and make us feel free from fear and anxiety. We find security in knowing we belong to God. We are married to God, so we don’t walk alone. He is with us, and He is for us. He uses His divine power to provide all the security we need in life. Through Christ Jesus, we have everything we need, we are safe in His arms in His true Security!

Isaiah 41:13 (KJV)   For I the LORD thy God will hold thy right hand, saying unto thee, Fear not; I will help thee.

I encourage you to take God at His word and praise Him for keeping it. So, trust God, and don’t be afraid, because no one can harm us when God is with us. I vow to trust, obey, and serve You O Lord. I am thankful for everything You have already done and the things You are doing right now for me. God has rescued me from my enemies times and times and kept my feet on the path of righteousness. As long as I am alive, I am committed to walking in the light from God’s throne. Don’t Be Afraid!

Today’s Focus Scripture Is found in the book of Isaiah 41:10 (KJV):   Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.

I pray that you can feel God’s love and how important you are to Him. Although we don’t think a lot about a strand of hair, but this little thing is a complicated process maintained by God. Nothing goes unnoticed by God. God knows everything! He knows the beginning and the ending. God knows what you are feeling; He knows the pain or joy in your heart; he knows your concerns, fears, needs, and sin. I am inspired by this knowledge to bring all of my concerns and cares to the Lord. We don’t have to fear because God knows everything. He knows what is going to happen before it occurs, but more importantly, God has already planned for the unexpected and all troubles waiting to engulf us. “God Knows Everything!”
