Scripture Reference: Isaiah 41:8-13

How absolutely marvelous it is to know that no matter our gender, culture, race, ethnicity or social background, all of our lives have been given with a purpose. From birth, to death or until the day of JESUS CHRIST’s return for His one true Church.. what we choose to accept as that purpose will lead to the promise intended for all of GOD’s creation. The Scriptures we will explore in this segment, hold promises and our GOD (unlike men) is not a liar, so what He spoke over our lives is certainly true.

So, let’s dive in!!!

“But thou, Israel, art my servant, Jacob whom I have chosen, the seed of Abraham my friend. Thou whom I have taken from the ends of the earth, and called thee from the chief men thereof, and said unto thee, Thou art my servant; I have chosen thee, and not cast thee away.” ‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭41‬:‭8‬-‭9‬ ‭KJV‬‬

Our GOD has a chosen people, called out to be different, chosen to be with Him in glory, justified by the Blood of JESUS CHRIST and sanctified by His resurrection through His Holy Spirit that was sent to keep us, comfort us, lead us and guide us into all truth!!! (1 Peter 2:9, Exodus 19:5-6, John 14:16-18)

“Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness. Behold, all they that were incensed against thee shall be ashamed and confounded: they shall be as nothing; and they that strive with thee shall perish.”

‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭41‬:‭10‬-‭11‬ ‭KJV‬‬

GOD encourages us that His purpose for us provides us with His divine protection and guarantees that He will be the strength in our weaknesses (2 Corinthians 12:9), while He holds us up when others attempt to tear us down because His righteousness in us is greater than that of anything or anyone else in and of this World. (1 John 4:4) He doesn’t even stop there! He goes on to declare that our enemies that come out against us from all directions will be ashamed that they ever took up a position against us and will be left with a state of mind of confusion as to how we have overcome them. His word says it will be as if they never existed to us and they will be dealt with accordingly.

Final Thought: “Thou shalt seek them, and shalt not find them, even them that contended with thee: they that war against thee shall be as nothing, and as a thing of nought. For I the LORD thy God will hold thy right hand, saying unto thee, Fear not; I will help thee.” Isaiah‬ ‭41‬:‭12‬-‭13‬ ‭KJV‬‬

Just think, our lives have so much purpose that our GOD said that we will not only be victorious in Him and through JESUS CHRIST (1 Corinthians 15:57) but also, that anyone or anything that fights against us will be like they were never even there and His promise will hold true as we are told definitively that He will help us!!! So walk in His grace, believe in His love, do not be afraid because YOUR LIFE HAS PROMISED PURPOSE!!!
