He reminds: “I girded thee, though thou has not known me” Isaiah 45:5
What shall we then say…If God be for us, who can be against us?…He that spared not his own Son…how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?…Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?…For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. (Rom 8: 31-39)
The one who watches over Israel is telling you today: “…Fear not; I will help thee” (Isaiah 41:13)
