ISAIAH INSPIRATION

But now, O Sharon (put your name in here, too!), listen to the LORD who created you.

The One who formed you says:

"DO NOT BE AFRAID, for I have ransomed you.

I have called you BY NAME - you are MINE.

When you go through deep waters, I WILL BE WITH YOU.

When you go through rivers of difficulty, YOU WILL NOT DROWN.

When you walk through the fire of oppression, YOU WILL NOT BE BURNED UP - the flames WILL NOT CONSUME YOU.

For I am the LORD, your God, your Savior.

Another was given in exchange for you.

I traded His life for yours because you are precious to Me.

I love you.

So, DO NOT BE AFRAID - for I AM WITH YOU.

You are My servant.

You have chosen to know Me, believe in Me, and understand that I alone am God.

There is no other God - there never has been, and there never will be.

I, yes I, am the LORD, and there is NO OTHER Savior.

From eternity to eternity I am God.

NO ONE can snatch anyone out of My hand.

NO ONE can undo what I have done.

But forget what I have done in the past - it is nothing compared to what I am going to do!

For I am about to do something NEW.

See, I have already begun!

Do you not see it?

I will make a pathway through the wilderness.

I will create rivers in the dry wasteland - so you can be refreshed.

I have made you for Myself, and you will someday honor Me before the whole world."

(From Isaiah 43)
