God's Love for His People

Isaiah 43: 1-7 (NLT)

The Savior of Israel
¹But now, O Israel, the LORD who created you says: "Do not be afraid, for I have ransomed you. I have called you by name; you are mine. ²When you go through deep waters and great trouble, I will be with you. When you go through rivers of difficulty, you will not drown! When you walk through the fire of oppression, you will not be burned up; the flames will not consume you. ³For I am the LORD, your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior. I gave Egypt, Ethiopia, and Seba as a ransom for your freedom. ⁴Others died that you might live. I traded their lives for yours because you are precious to me. You are honored, and I love you.
⁵"Do not be afraid, for I am with you. I will gather you and your children from east and west ⁶and from north and south. I will bring my sons and daughters back to Israel from the distant corners of the earth. ⁷All who claim me as their God will come, for I have made them for my glory. It was I who created them."

Wise Thoughts

Few things show our disconnect from the environment more than the fact that
there is no Nobel Prize for environmental work while there is one for Peace,
despite the fact that environmental degradation and resource scarcity
underlie most violence. -Allan Savory
