  • Fear Not...You are Mine

    I'm sure it's happened to all of us before. We're searching our Bibles - for what, we're not even sure, but for something from the Lord. And He brings out the verse that's absolutely perfect for us. Written for us. Literally.

    "But now thus says the LORD, he who created you, O Jacob, he who formed you, O Israel;

    "Fear not, 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...Because you are precious in my eyes, and honored, and I love you, I give men in return for you, peoples in exchange for your life.

    "Fear not, for I am with you; I will bring your offspring from the east, and from the west I will gather you...everyone who is called by my name, whom I created for my glory, whom I formed and made."

    Isaiah 43:1-7, ESV (Emphasis added)

    tonight I opened my Bible and heard "read 2 Timothy, all of it" I was rather shocked.  I read it all.  It was amazing.

    Howdy, Emy. That's a really cool passage. I'm currently reading through Isaiah, which is nice because we're singing Handel's Messiah and the arya is taken from many parts of Isaiah, and Revelation, and Psalms, and it's SO good! Have you ever seen it live? Even if you have, it is uncomparable to be on the other side of the orchestra and hear your voice coming out of a chior of 80 fllow singers, and see the director wave her stick and sing those powerful words to such beautiful music! ah! Anywya, I'm sorry about your black eye. I just came back from West Virgina with my own special edition of wounds. hehe. Have happy days.

    PS: THanks for knighting me.
