My Question

Word of Life

Beloved one, your name may not be known to me, but the Lord knows you intimately. He calls you by name and cherishes you deeply. As it is written in Isaiah 43:1 (NIV), "Do not fear, for I have redeemed you; I have summoned you by name; you are mine." Your identity is precious in His sight.

Bible Commentary

Isaiah 43:1 states, "But now, this is what the Lord says— he who created you, Jacob, he who formed you, Israel: 'Do not fear, for I have redeemed you; I have summoned you by name; you are mine.'" This verse emphasizes God's intimate relationship with His people. He reassures them not to fear because He has redeemed them and called them by name, signifying personal care and ownership. The use of "Jacob" and "Israel" highlights God's covenant with His chosen people, affirming His ongoing commitment and protection. This verse serves as a powerful reminder of God's love and faithfulness.

Prayer

Heavenly Father, thank You for creating and forming us, just as You did for Jacob and Israel. We are grateful for Your redemption and for calling us by name, claiming us as Your own. Help us to remember that we belong to You and need not fear. Strengthen our faith and guide us in Your ways. In Jesus Christ's name we pray. Amen.
