God is the Holy One of Israel who saves his people out of his own love for them. He saves them because they are precious and loved by the One who created them. Those who see these things are witnesses of these things.
Isaiah 43:1-7 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. 2 When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they shall not overwhelm you; when you walk through fire you shall not be burned, and the flame shall not consume you. 3 For I am the LORD your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior. I give Egypt as your ransom, Cush and Seba in exchange for you. 4 Because you are precious in my eyes, and honored, and I love you, I give men in return for you, peoples in exchange for your life. 5 Fear not, for I am with you; I will bring your offspring from the east, and from the west I will gather you. 6 I will say to the north, Give up, and to the south, Do not withhold; bring my sons from afar and my daughters from the end of the earth, 7 everyone who is called by my name, whom I created for my glory, whom I formed and made.”

Thanks Josh for the message. What a great passage to remind us of God’s love, faithfulness, and work in the lives of those that are His.

Hey Joshua, I’m in the Dells this weekend for a convention at the Kalahari and wanted to hear a word from the Lord. God knows what I need when i need it most and through you he has delivered it to my soul.
I walk around chosen by the Most High God and he has been with me all this time what and who should I fear but the One who gives and takes away for my good. Thank you Joshua for allowing God to use you.
Blessings Greg
