Pastor Delaine's Weekly Email - September 16
Greetings! In Isaiah 46 God gave Israel a wonderful description of His love and care for them. He used the picture of a human from the day of conception all the way to old age to remind His people of His constant love for them. There had never been a time he didn’t carry and support them and there never would be a time He wouldn’t carry and support them. As a nation, Israel always had God’s attention from conception to old age and beyond. Take a look at what He said to them: I have cared for you since you were born. Yes, I carried you before you were born. I will be your God throughout your lifetime—until your hair is white with age. Isaiah 46:3b-4a NLT Now that you have read the verse let me say, I believe God gives the followers of Jesus Christ the same personal and complete attention He has given to his people Israel throughout history. The first phrase, “I have cared for you since you were born,” tells us that from the moment we were born, God has lovingly focused on us, caring for us and protecting us in our early years. The next phrase, “Yes, I carried you before you were born,” reveals that God’s attention even predated our birth. While we were still in the womb He was affectionately watching us grow. The third phrase, “I will be your God throughout your lifetime . . .” speaks of the middle years in our lives as we progress from children to adults. God was also there carrying us along and supporting us. The last phrase in our verses, “until your hair is white with age,” reassures us that even in our old age, as we grow frail, God will not desert us. Like Israel, but on a personal level, we have assurance of God’s love and attention from conception to old age and beyond. I’m grateful! Blessings! Delaine |
