Isaiah 43

What stood out today:
1 But now, this is what the LORD says — he who created you, O Jacob, he who formed you, O Israel: "Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have summoned you by name; you are mine.
2 When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze.
3 For I am the LORD, your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior; I give Egypt for your ransom, Cush and Seba in your stead.
4 Since you are precious and honored in my sight, and because I love you.

My response: Father, what a wonderful chapter, what wonderful words. Would You grant me the grace to believe? Jesus, I do trust You are. You lead me through deep waters, swift rivers, raging fires; the only thing that will be destroyed is the dross of unbelief. You will bring what is precious to You through all that. Indeed Lord God, your plans are too wonderful for me. I hear you that I am loved and precious by God Most High…
