Praise Posts 2022 - #7 – Thankful I’m Called By Name

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.
Isaiah 43:1-2 New American Standard Bible 1995

 

Such richness in Isaiah! Here we see God speaks to us as both Creator and Redeemer. He is personally invested in us – He calls us by name.

 

Yes, this is written to the children of Israel; but when we accept Him as our Savior, we became part of Abraham’s seed as well, and we, too, are heirs to the promises of God.*

 

I’m so thankful to serve a God who is a personal God – I’m not just one of the masses. He knows me by name, and He even knows how many hairs are on my head.**

 

What’s even more comforting, God promises to be with me in the toughest of circumstances. Whether it’s flame or flood, He promises to be with us.

 

What more could we ask?

*Galatians 3:8-9, 29 

** Luke 12:7

Welcome to Praise Posts 2022!
 
In the midst of the crazy world we live, I’m more grateful than ever for the Word of God. Scripture gives me a firm foundation to stand upon when everything else seems shaky. It seems each day I crave His Word even more, and it speaks to me even more plainly than it ever has.
 
With that in mind, I’ve decided to make this year’s Praise Posts all about scripture. Beginning November 14 and running through November 24, I am planning to pick out 10 scriptures that meant the most to me in 2022 and do a Praise Post each day on one of them. I hope you’ll join me each day by posting one of your favorite scriptures in the comment section.
