Isaiah 43:1 – 3
But now thus saith the Lord that created thee, O Jacob, and he that formed thee, O Israel, Fear not: for I have redeemed thee, I have called thee by thy name; thou art mine.
2 When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee.
3 For I am the Lord thy God, the Holy One of Israel, thy Saviour: I gave Egypt for thy ransom, Ethiopia and Seba for thee.
Jacob is a name given by people. Israel is a godly name personally given by God.
Genesis 35:10
10 And God said unto him, Thy name is Jacob: thy name shall not be called any more Jacob, but Israel shall be thy name: and he called his name Israel.
So Jacob became Israel. So insert your name for Jacob, for he no longer lives, but you live. That is groundbreaking. From this you can deduct how much God trusts you, loves you and how important you are to the Lord. Fear not, for God is with you. Do you do that? Make a mental note, God is for you. God is your creator. God has redeemed you, you are His. World class.
I am the Lord your God, the holy one of Israel, your redeemer.
Exodus 3:14
14 And God said unto Moses, I Am That I Am: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I Am hath sent me unto you.
This “I am”, means God loves you and you are his. A part/piece of God, absolutely priceless and precious. You have God’s full attention, you are important to God.
Do you really think like that?
My recommendation, do it, be a doer of the word. Do not allow yourself to be unsettled, believe the word of God, trust the word of God. According to, John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
Take the word seriously. It is your new life in you. You are so important to Him, the holy one of Israel.
Hallelujah, Amen.
