What God has done, He will do!

 

“Do not fear, for I have redeemed you; I have summoned you by name; you are mine.”

—Isaiah 43:1b

History gives us perspective. In his play, The Tempest, William Shakespeare includes this declaration: “What is past is prologue.”

When we consider the God who loves us, we can learn much about Him from what He has said and what He has done in the past.

The Prophet Isaiah records these words of God spoken to His chosen people Israel, as recorded in Isaiah 43:1-7:

But now, this is what the Lord says—he who created you, Jacob, he who formed you, Israel:

“Do not fear, for I have redeemed you; I have summoned you by name; you are mine.

“When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you.

“When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze.

“For I am the Lord your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior; I give Egypt for your ransom, Cush and Seba in your stead. Since you are precious and honored in my sight, and because I love you, I will give people in exchange for you, nations in exchange for your life.

“Do not be afraid, for I am with you; I will bring your children from the east and gather you from the west.

“I will say to the north, ‘Give them up!’ and to the south, ‘Do not hold them back.’

“Bring my sons from afar and my daughters from the ends of the earth—everyone who is called by my name, whom I created for my glory, whom I formed and made.”

What God has done for His children down through the ages, He will do for us. He loves us, cares for us, protects us, and keeps us.

Yes, what God has done, He will do!
