“But now thus says the Lord, he who created you, O Jacob, he who formed you, O Israel: Do not fear, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by name, you are mine. When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they shall not overwhelm you; when you walk through fire you shall not be burned, and the flame shall not consume you. For I am the Lord your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior.”
My Two Cents….
This is one of my favorite passages from scripture. It reminds me that God created me and will always be near no matter what life might bring my way. This has provided me courage to face some big threats and obstacles.
What water and fire do you face heading into this week? Are you feeling overwhelmed? What do you fear? How might the assurance that God knows, loves, and promises to be near to you, provide you the strength that you need? At the start of each day this week, how can you lean into Isaiah’s wisdom?
In Christ, Walt
