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. Isaiah 43 verse 1
God’s love is all-consuming.
His passions are from everlasting to everlasting.
When He speaks it is forever.
Everything He promises, He fulfills.
Whatever He does nothing and no one can alter it.
He gave to us the most precious gift of all; His only begotten son, the darling of his bosom to redeem us.
It is by His grace and His great desire to have us be with Him through all eternity.
We are nothing, yet God so loved us, the blood of His son, Jesus Christ, the Lamb of God made us something.
Washed in the soul-cleansing blood of the Lamb, we are His for all eternity.
O Zion, that bringest good tidings, get thee up into the high mountain; O Jerusalem, that bringest good tidings, lift up thy voice with strength, lift it up, be not afraid, say unto the cities of Judah, Behold your God. Isaiah 40 verse 9.
Behold the Lord comes with power and might.
Praise his name forever for he is worthy to be praised.
Sing unto the Lord a new song, and make your voice known for he is great.
Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God. Hebrews 12 verse 2.
Author of our Faith in the book of Hebrews chapter 12 verse 2 can be translated from the Greek language as captain or pioneer.
He is the first and the last; everything starts with him and ends with him.
He perfected our belief in God.
He is our example when it comes to trusting in God.
He totally relied on God the Father as the source of his blessing, the source of his existence;
being the only begotten son of God, coexistent, coequal, and coeternal with God.
He is our true example as the “captain” and “perfector” of our faith.
And Isaiah said unto them, thus shall ye say unto your master, thus saith the Lord, be not afraid of the words that thou hast heard, wherewith the servants of the king of Assyria have blasphemed me. Isaiah 37 verse 6.
Don’t be afraid of the things you hear.
Malicious words can mess with your self-esteem and destroy the psyche.
The tongue is a fire, a weapon used for mass destruction.
But don’t worry about what others say to you.
Don’t be afraid of words spoken in anger to defeat you
As a child of God, your responsibility is to your heavenly Father.
God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in times past unto the fathers by the prophets. Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds. Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high. Being made so much better than the angels. as he hath by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they. Hebrews 1 verses 1 to 4
He is now crowned with honor.
Seated at the Father’s right hand in the glory.
Having completed the work that the Father gave him to do.
