Isaiah 43: Fear Not The Lord Is With You

Isaiah 43 is a long chapter, but it’s such a deep chapter that every believer resonates with. The book opens up by talking about why we should not fear nor get dismayed. The God of the universe says that we are His. He formed us and redeemed us. He has authority over our lives because he created us, and when we were lost, he set out to find us. He redeemed us, bought us back, and brought us back from bondage and sin. That is not all. The scripture also gives us peace and hope that God will walk us through difficult situations in life. No matter how deep the water gets or how hot the flames become, we should fear not. God promises that he will be with us and will get us to the victory line. Difficult situations are bound to come, but when you feel like you are drowning, remember you are not, he’s with you. Put your hope in the lord. He will strengthen you and carry you through.

Join the conversation with me, Lisa, and my friend Shaunda, as we discuss Isaiah 43 to unveil the character of God, his promises, acts of faith, and how he wants us to respond to fires and challenges in life. We are God’s children and chosen people, and he has the power to redeem us and carry us through in every situation. We should fear not, for he is with us every step of the way.
