    Hi dear This is about the redemption of Israel.

    The book of Isaiah is divided into several sections with different themes. Thanks for the reminder I have not reflected on it before. Ty God bless us all in the time He definitely things in His Order.

    In Jesus Christ Holy Name. 2 Corintihans chapter 13 and 13.
  • FIREY TRIALS and DEEP WATERS - In Reply on Isaiah 43 - 2 years ago
    We face many trials as human beings and they bring a lot of fear into our hearts. Sometimes we don't know what to do, and the only place we can turn is to our heavenly Father.

    God knows that in this world we will face many trials but throughout His Word, He gives us encouragement and comfort in the scriptures.

    When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze.

    It's normal to feel alone when all around you is falling apart and you see no hope of the end coming soon. With God, you can face any trial and overcome it because He gives you His power and strength.

    He knows that trials can easily crush and destroy you if He does not intervene. Rest in the hope that God sees your situation and will help you.

    Isaiah 43:2 was written when

    God was comforting His people and reminding them that He was their redeemer, and would be with them just like He was when they left Egypt (bondage to sin).

    1 Peter

    5 for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble.

    6 Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time:

    7 Casting all your care(s) upon him; for he cares for you.

    8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walks about, seeking whom he may devour:

    Sometimes it helps me to pray if I pray the Lords prayer_and stop on each line and put in my own thoughts.

    Like, Our Father who art in heavenI add my own thoughts of praise and worship of WHO HE IS in my sometimes, needy life. He is "our daddy". We are allowed to run to Father for our needs.

    Jesus prayed, "Father forgive them; they know Not what they do." Jesus opened that place we can go to for refuge and help; comfort.

    Take advantage of what was provided__through Jesus's shed blood. Honor the blood of that sacrifice.
