“Who are you, Lord?” . . . “I am Jesus.”
“It is I. Do not be afraid.”—“When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they shall not overwhelm you; when you walk through fire you shall not be burned, and the flame shall not consume you. For I am the Lord your God . . . your Savior.”
Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.—“Immanuel” (which means, God with us).
“You shall call his name Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins.”—If anyone does sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous.—Who is to condemn? Christ Jesus is the one who died—more than that, who was raised—who is at the right hand of God, who indeed is interceding for us. Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or danger, or sword?
This truly was a word in due season for me today. So much on my heart and mind, weighing very heavily. Things that make me think I have gone nowhere and possibly do not have a clue as to who God is or what He wants with me. But he says: "It is I. Do not be afraid...When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they shall not overwhelm you; when you walk through fire you shall not be burned, and the flame shall not consume you. For I am the Lord your God . . . your Savior.” And, though I sin I "have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous...who is at the right hand of God, who indeed is interceding for [me].
Thank you Lord is all I can say!
