Last week I told the Springhead Park House Community that we are leaving. During that meeting a man shared scripture with me. I have spent time reading these versus since then. I wanted to share this passage with all of you because it is very interesting and meaningful to us.
Isaiah 43:1-7
But now, thus says the LORD, your Creator, O Jacob, and He who formed you, O Israel,
"Do not fear, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by name; you are Mine!
When You pass through the waters, I will be with you;
and through the rivers, they will not overflow you.
When you walk through the fire, you will not be scorched, nor will the flame burn you.
For I am the LORD your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior;
I have given Egypt as your ransom, Cush and Seba in your place.
Since you are precious in My sight, Since you are honored and I love you,
I will give other men in your place and other peoples in exchange for your life.
Do not fear, for I am with you;
I will bring your offspring from the east, And gather you from the west. "I will say to the north, 'Give them up!' And to the south, 'Do not hold them back.'
Bring My sons from afar, And My daughters from the ends of the earth,
Everyone who is called by My name,
And whom I have created for My glory,
Whom I have formed, even whom I have made."
Incredible isn't it?

That is an amazing verse. It is my life verse, actually. God gave it to me in the worst time of my life as I was enduring much pain during my divorce. One night I was in bed doing my Beth Moore bible study and before I began, I prayed to God about my situation and specifically said in my prayer that if I was going to have to walk through the fire like Shadrach, Meshach, Abednego, then I needed Him to walk with me. When I got up and looked in my bible study, the first verse I read was this one. I cried and cried as I realized God answered me directly in that moment. What a blessing. I am so happy it is a meaningful verse to you as well.
