Isa 43:1 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.( NIV)
God created the nation of Israel and made it special to Him. He redeemed it and called it by His name. He protected this nation in times of trouble.
Our creator has made us a special people in His eyes. He has regenerated us, adopted us and called us. We belong to Him. We have not been merely called in general, but we have been designated as his own peculiar people.
And because we belong to Him, He declares; Isa 43:2 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.
When you see dangers and conspiracies on all sides, remember this benefit and the love of your God and it will encourage you.
