Isaiah 43 – God’s Not Through with Us

 

God is not through with the Israelites and He is not through with us. He confirms that God created mankind. We did not come from monkeys; we came from God.

God took Israelites crooked ways and made a nation out of them.

 

Our beginnings came from a man who rebelled against God. Adam has passed on to us a fallen nature which will never be reformed or repaired. But God has given us a new nature. God promises us that even when we go through the waters and through the fires He will be with us. God does not say we will not have troubles, all of us will have a trouble or two in our lifetime but He does guarantee that we will not face these troubles alone. God will deliver us from our troubles.

 

When the Israelites rebelled, God gave them Egypt and Ethiopia to discipline them. When they turned back to God, He then in turned disciplined Egypt and Ethiopia.

 

Everyone who comes into our life is there for a purpose. If it is someone you are having trouble with, ask God why it is, and what are you to gain from it. He may be using them to straighten something out in your life. God will paddle our behinds for wrongdoing, and He may use others to do the paddling. Once you have learned the lesson He desires for you to learn, He will in turn paddle the one that is causing you trouble. We must take heed to understand the lesson and not gloat over the other being paddled.

 

We cannot imagine how much God loves Israel and how much He loves us. He is the one and only God and Savior. No pastor, religion or church can save us. Only God can save us. If we are true to Him, He promises to stay true to us.
