In this powerful message, we're reminded of God's unwavering presence through life's turbulent waters. Drawing from Isaiah 43:1-7, we explore how God guides us through challenging times, just as He led the Israelites through their exile. The recurring theme of 'But now' serves as a beacon of hope, reminding us that our current circumstances don't define our future. We're encouraged to embrace our identity as God's chosen people, understanding that we're both 'Jacob' and 'Israel' - works in progress, constantly growing in our faith. This message beautifully illustrates how God protects, prefers, and procures us, even in our darkest moments. It's a call to hold onto God's unchanging hand, trusting in His promise to bring us home, both spiritually and literally. As we navigate our own 'waters' and 'fires', we're invited to remember our preferred status in God's eyes and the unearned grace He extends to us.
