Isaiah 43:14-21 (The Message)
God, your Redeemer,
The Holy of Israel, says:
"Just for you, I will march on Babylon.
I'll turn the tables on the Babylonians.
Instead of whooping it up,
they'll be wailing.
I am God, your Holy One,
Creator of Israel, your King."
This is what God says,
the God who builds a road right through the ocean,
who carves a path through pounding waves,
The God who summons horses and chariots and armies—
they lie down and then can't get up;
they're snuffed out like so many candles:
"Forget about what's happened;
don't keep going over old history.
Be alert, be present. I'm about to do something brand-new.
It's bursting out! Don't you see it?
There it is! I'm making a road through the desert,
rivers in the badlands.
Wild animals will say 'Thank you!'
—the coyotes and the buzzards—
Because I provided water in the desert,
rivers through the sun-baked earth,
Drinking water for the people I chose,
the people I made especially for myself,
a people custom-made to praise me.
Behold, I am doing a new thing!
When Moses was standing at the red sea with no place to go, and pharaoh’s army was closing in, then out of nowhere came a mighty strong hand, and He rolled back the waters. And a way was made for them. Just like for the children of Israel He will do the same today for us. But we must keep our eyes on Him and NOT the circumstances around us.
Have A Blessed Day
