we serve a great God

"But 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...For I am the Lord you God, the Holy One of Israel, you Savior'." -Isaiah 43:1,3

its amazing. truth. the word of God. how glorious.

so often i forget. so often the weight of the glorious truth of God becomes lackluster and everyday.

but praise God for renewal of spirit. for new eyes. new heart.

He created me. He formed me. He knows me. to my deepest depths because he made me. he called me by my name. I AM HIS!!! i pray that the joy from this truth never gets old.

fear not. trust. have faith. this he speaks with his every word. He is God, we are his, we have no reason to fear.

now this is God's claim: For I am the Lord your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior.

i know this is something we have been told and have thus repeated over and over...that the Lord is our Savior...but let that truth press into your heart, let it shake your bones, let it move your soul. our creator God is our SAVIOR. a magnificent, majestic, holy, powerful God saves us. he saves us. what kind of God would do that? what kind of God would save me? save his people?

we serve a great god.
