The entire Bible is pretty powerful and a life source to those of faith.  However, we all have favorite passages from each book of the Bible, or favorite stories.

Isaiah is magnificent in its entirety and so significant to us even today.  The LORD’s promises and His blessings are there for us to grasp and absorb.

There are so many verses of reassurance in this book that it’s difficult to name just a few, but I’ll try by starting with the 41:13.

When I read the above verse I’m immediately filled with awe and peace.  To realize that our Father, our LORD is holding my hand no matter what, is balm for the soul, and makes my heart smile.

He wants us to put Him  in remembrance of His promises too.

Put me in remembrance:

let us plead together: declare thou,

that thou mayest be justified.

Isaiah 43:26 KJV

God wants to protect us with His mercy, His love and His promises.  He is anxious to please us.  But, when we disobey and ignore Him, although He’ll still love us, He will wait until we’re ready to approach Him.

Or, He may “shake us up” so that we fall to our knees to get our attention.

Either way…God loves us.  And the realization is, He’ll neither leave us, nor forsake us. He is the Great I AM I AM…and will be with us forever.

He will protect us from the “enemy” — we’re the apple of His eye.

He will continue to hold us up….even when we’re down.

He’ll pick up us and carry us to safety in His arms and in His care.

Fear thou not;

for I am with thee:

be not dismayed;

for I am thy God:

I will strengthen thee; yea,

I will help thee; yea,

I will uphold thee

with the right hand

of my righteousness.

Isaiah 41:10

If you don’t know Him…you’re missing out of the greatest love you’ll ever know in this lifetime.  Take the time and read His Word.  Sit down and speak with Him. He is a loving Father whose mercy endures forever. His love is incomprehensible to the mere mortal, but supersedes all that we’ve ever known.

Open His book. Speak to Him and let Him into your heart.

Then let His promises embrace your life and guide your path.

 

“Father, thank You for holding me, loving me, and guiding me, as You do all of Your children, I love You…all the glory, honor, power, victory and dominion belong to You and You alone, always…in Jesus name,  Amen.”
