Do you ever have a passage of Scripture that has just changed you forever?
Isaiah 43 is one of those passages for me:
“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. 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. For I am the Lord your God, The Holy One of Israel, your Savior; I gave Egypt for your ransom, Ethiopia and Seba in your place. Since you were precious in My sight, You have been honored, And I have loved you; Therefore I will give men for you, And people for your life. Fear not, for I am with you…’”
In those five short verses we catch so much critical truth about how God defines us! To Him we are:
REDEEMED…
CALLED…
HIS…
PRECIOUS…
HONORED…
LOVED….
Join me for this lagniappe episode of Rinse and Repeat, as we explore how our position in Christ, and His great work in us is a source of much peace through the fire!
