BUT NOW [in spite of past judgments for Israel's sins], thus says the Lord, He Who created you, O Jacob, and He Who formed you, O Israel: Fear not, for I have redeemed you [ransomed you by paying a price instead of leaving you captives]; 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 will not overwhelm you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned or scorched, nor will the flame kindle upon you. For I am the Lord your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior; I give Egypt [to the Babylonians] for your ransom, Ethiopia and Seba [a province of Ethiopia] in exchange [for your release]. (Isaiah 43:1-3 AMP)
This verse is perfect for us this week. We are up against a very crazy, busy week. It will take a lot of focus and endurance. This verse is personal..."I've redeemed you , I've called you by name." He promises to protect us and be with us. Rivers, waters, fire and flame (think of what you are up against this week). It will not consume us!! He is our savior!!!
