Good Word for Today!

The Lord Be With You Today!

Isaiah 43:14-15
This is what the Lord says—your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel:
(Declaring His deliverance for Israel,
the Lord calls Himself their Redeemer, Israel's God,
associating Himself and His Name with them
even in their exile and disobedience.
Today, even though we, like Israel, have rebelled
and failed in our dedication to the Lord, He still calls us His Own.)
“For your sake I will send to Babylon
and bring down as fugitives all the Babylonians,
in the ships in which they took pride.
(With deep love and forgiveness, to rescue them from the path
which resulted in dire consequences for His people,
the Lord proclaims He will deliver them.
He will overcome the forces that come against His people.
Today, the Lord is still defeating the "Babylonians" in our lives,
the formidable situations that confront us
and even the sometimes disastrous consequences of our disobedience.
He comes to our rescue for our sake, because of who He has made us,
simply because He cherishes us, His people.)
I am the Lord, your Holy One, Israel’s Creator, your King.”
(He wants us to know today that our deliverance is no coincidence,
no happenstance, no chance occurrence,
not accomplished by our own or others' endeavors,
but by the Lord God Almighty,
Whose ownership over us is evident by His choice,
first, to create us and, then, to create us in His Own image.
He has chosen to covenant with us
and to extend His loving salvation to us today!)

May the Lord richly bless you this day!

In Christ's love,

Blessings,
