Title: The Reasons Why I Can Face the Future Confidently

Text:

Isaiah 43:1-2 (HCSB)
1
Now this is what the LORD says— the One who created you, Jacob, and the One who formed you, Israel— "Do not fear, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by your name; you are Mine.
2 I will be with you when you pass through the waters, and [when you pass] through the rivers, they will not overwhelm you. You will not be scorched when you walk through the fire, and the flame will not burn you.

Observation:

I love reading the whole Bible; the reason why is because even in the promises of the Old Testament to God's people of old I can find hope and encouragement for God's people of every stripe. Notice what Paul said about the Old Testament scriptures.

Romans 15:4 (HCSB)
4 For whatever was written in the past was written for our instruction, so that we may have hope through endurance and through the encouragement from the Scriptures.

The message I hear today is a message for believers of every age; God says to you and me, "Do not fear".

Whatever you are going through do not fear; thus says the God who created you, and the God who redeemed you. When you go through troubled waters you will not drown. When you walk through the fire He will not allow the flames to burn you. If God has been good to you, you ought to say so.

Psalm 107:2 (ESV)
2 Let the redeemed of the LORD say so, whom he has redeemed from trouble.

Prayer:

Our Father in heaven, my dear Father, I am so grateful for the precious promises that You gave to Your people of old, and the promises that You give to all of those who You have redeemed by the precious and royal blood of Your only begotten Son, Jesus our Savior and Lord. Amen.
