I first ran across this passage one night at a worship night that some friends were leading afew years ago. I was having a particularily rough weekand tought that spending some time at the feet of the Lord might be helpful. During the signing and verbal prayers that where being said I was thumbing through my Bible and I heared a voice. The voice said turn to Isaiah, and I did. I was directed to Isaiah 43:1-3. My eyes welled up and i began to weep at the beautiful promises that the Lord shows in this passage.
Isaiah 43
Israel’s Only Savior
1But 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.
2 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.
3For I am the LORD your God,
the Holy One of Israel, your Savior.
Rest in his words.
Breathe in his presence.
Fall swifty into his wide-spread loving arms.
Now to him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, according to the power at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever. Amen. (Eph 3:20-21)
Go under the mercy. Sleep, under the protection.
