Isaiah 43 Good News Translation (GNT)
God Promises to Rescue His People
Israel, the Lord who created you says,
“Do not be afraid—I will save you.
I have called you by name—you are mine.
2 When you pass through deep waters, I will be with you;
your troubles will not overwhelm you.
When you pass through fire, you will not be burned;
the hard trials that come will not hurt you.
3 For I am the Lord your God,
the holy God of Israel, who saves you.
I will give up Egypt to set you free;
I will give up Ethiopia and Seba.
4 I will give up whole nations to save your life,
because you are precious to me
and because I love you and give you honor.
5 Do not be afraid—I am with you!
“From the distant east and the farthest west
I will bring your people home.
6 I will tell the north to let them go
and the south not to hold them back.
Let my people return from distant lands,
from every part of the world.
7 They are my own people,
and I created them to bring me glory.”

God Promises to Rescue His People
Each of our lives have that same rescue ability by God. He created us and has purposed our lives for his glory. Our attitudes and actions should be one of surrender to the will of God. However, sometimes when God moves one way we don't understand, it can sway of from him if we are not careful. I have gotten frustrated over somethings that have happen in life and wondered why on things. God is a God is new beginnings, desires of our hearts and yet we go through hard days.
I read Psalm 23 a lot. It brings life to my soul and I know that Goodness and Mercy follows me every day. I only look back to feel the peace of God and how far he has brought my life. The wonders of yesterdays are pushed back, because I want to live in this day. People watch my example and they watch your example and it's so important to be a good one. Live in kindness, get rid of bad attitudes and do your best everyday to share hope with others.
My prayers continue for you, your family and friends.
