Scripture is God breathed and true. When we memorize it, we carry His Word with us wherever we go.
During this reading plan, we will memorize our key verse, Isaiah 43:1. We’ll memorize a portion of the verse each week and spend time committing the whole verse to memory at the end of Week 5. This week, we’ll start with the first line of the verse.
Now this is what the Lord says—
the one who created you, Jacob,
and the one who formed you, Israel—
“Do not fear, for I have redeemed you;
I have called you by your name; you are mine.”
—Isaiah 43:1

Now this is what the Lord says-
Grateful for SRT for emphasizing the importance of memorizing scripture and for helping us to do so!

I am so prone to fear right now with life’s current situations, but God reminds me daily that He has redeemed me and I need not fear. AMEN!
❤️
This is just amazing. I am His. He has claimed me has His.
Saying prayers for you Victoria! ❤️
Thank you Kirsten !
What a beautiful word to wake up to this morning and rest on today. Isa 43 is treasure of truth, hope and reminders of His presence to me. Thank you, Lord that you say I am yours.❤️
This verse is so good to memorize for me especially now. I am really struggling with my mental health, I know it’s late but if I can ask for prayers for healing from this wonderful community I would really appreciate it.
Have prayed for you right now, Victoria. May the Lord’s presence bring you peace and encourage your heart❤️

Thank you CeeGee! I just posted on your comment from today as well. Thank you for praying for me
Amen
Thank you Lord ❤️
I love this verse and have written it out and put it on my fridge art space. Now I can see it from most parts of my little flat. A reminder that I am His.
♥️
❤️
This is my first study. Loving it so far. Didn’t write many notes this week on the margins though.
I love using this study in conjunction with my she reads truth bible to a little more out of it. You don’t have to be and use this study along with the ESV study Bible, the Niv chronological study Bible, the Niv application commentary one volume, and the daily grace co bible handbook.
❤️
I love that we’re memorizing it in small chunks. Sometimes they are too long and in all honesty I just dismiss it and don’t even try!
❤️
Oh to be redeemed and loved by God! It is a gift I don’t deserve, but one I am thankful for every day of my life.
Amen

Daylight Savings in California or at least this side of the U.S. So those of us over here lost an hour of sleep. I tried to go to bed early, it didn’t happen. BUT I feel great! OK…back to our devo. IF the Lord says it. I believe it! God is good! Even when things don’t go has “I” have planned, God is still good, as MY daddy knows best! Speaking of daddy, my earthly daddy. On Friday we have assembly at school and this past Friday we had awards for one student in-each class for exhibiting good character and other . It didn’t surprise me the student my teacher chose. Though I try not to have favorites, the student chosen is secretly my favorite, I have mentioned that to his parents before. It puts a smile on their faces. Stay with me….after the assembly his mom and grandparents who showed up for the awards, the grandma looked at me and said she remembered me from the doctors office I use to work at (many years ago when I was in my early 20’s) then she proceeded to tell me she also remembered me (I didn’t remember) when she took care of my daddy during dialysis. My heart…. she remembered my daddy, she must of remembered how sometimes I would go sit with my daddy during dialysis. Made my heart glad she took good care of my daddy. Sorry as I went off on a whole different subject, but it was nice to be remembered and especially that it involved my daddy. Happy Sunday sweeties!
How Beautiful, and not surprising that you stuck out in someone’s memory!! That’s so important to realize that we are always being watched (or in someone’s life for a moment) and it MATTERS! Our value’s show!! They are important…the FRUITS of the SPIRIT that model believers!!
My dad’s wife goes to Dialysis treatments 3 days a week for several months now. :/
What a sweet story:)
So beautiful ❤️
A life scripture!
Amen! One of my favorite verses.
Now this is what the Lord says…
Give me ears to hear you Lord! Help me to not listen to the lies of the enemy!
I have called you by name Rhonda, you are mine!!
Good Morning my beautiful sisters in Christ and precious friends I have grown to love and cherish!! Walking beside people that you don’t even know, but know!
We, sisters, are called by a special name, His beloved, his child, his chosen- loved and spotless in Jesus Christ! Our old life is gone, our sins forgotten and no longer, the old selfish ways- shown mercy and grace.
Some days it certainly doesn’t feel like it- I feel like the flesh Rhonda, letting my emotions get the best of me, my achy hurting body wear me down, my self-serving attitude rearing it’s head. Fear and trepidation scaring me. But, But…BUT GOD!! We forget HOW MIGHTY He is, the one that moves mountains, parts seas, walks on water, is there right beside us holding us tight through every day, no matter what comes. But we have to give up OUR want to “control” and “fix-it” ways and learn to surrender. Trust and obey, at every step. He gives us the lamp at our feet to light our path…think of that. It’s not a flashlight pointing to our goal, it is one step in trusting each step of our life. I know it talks of this through Paul that we wouldn’t even want what is ahead if we saw it all at once. He gives us little steps at a time to keep building our faith, endurance, strength, and trust. We think that loving Jesus and ministering and serving him that everything will come easily and wonderfully. But no disciple will have an easy path. It is challenging and hard, and persecution comes at all corners. Are we ready for that!? Do we want it ….YES, Send me Lord!! May I keep my eyes on you, and know that your plans for me are good and perfect!!
I missed first service!! Time to get ready before I miss second service!! Be blessed today!!

“Do Not Be Afraid” appears in the Bible 365 times which is one verse for each day of the year. Anxiety, depression, mental illness etc. consumes more people than we realize in this world today. It does not discriminate. But the Lord Jesus shows us that he is with us every moment of every day. Trust and believe in the Lord our God today to take your anxiety, depression and all other mental illnesses away as you give ALL of it over to him. HE sees YOU and calls YOU by name because YOU are HIS! AMEN
❤
❤️
This is one of my all time favorite passages of scripture Is 43:1-3
“Now this is what the Lord says….” If the Lord says….why are we clamoring after what the world says? What our political parties say? What our family says?. What are friends say? Because “This is what the Lord says” is all that really matters. Yes?
Amen!
Yes!!
Yes! ❤Thank you stressing that, Karen!
Amen ❤️
I heard a little different verse a long time ago as a young girl, but began the series The Chosen in November. The very first episode of the first series, this verse is played out multiple times by Mary Magdeline’s father and herself. I knew this verse was for me throughout the show but this verse hit me like a ton of bricks, from head to toe. Whole body radiated with warmth, goosebumps throughout and tears pouring out of my eyes like flood waters when Jesus shows up and says this verse to Mary.
Now this is what the Lord says—
the one who created you, Jacob,
and the one who formed you, Israel—
“Do not fear, for I have redeemed you;
I have called you by your name; you are mine.”
—Isaiah 43:1
I knew right then and there, he was calling me by name and I am his! Thank you SRT for allowing me to be a part of this journey with you!
I love that Jenn!! When he speaks right to us! There are many scenes in The Chosen that resonated with me, it is such a good show!!
❤️
❤
I know this scene and it brought me to tears.❤️
I am so grateful I am His also!❤️
Also in Chapter 43:
“‘…5’Do not be afraid, for I am with you.
I will gather you and your children from east and west.
6 I will say to the north and south,
‘Bring my sons and daughters back to Israel from the distant corners of the earth.
7 Bring all who claim me as their God,
for I have made them for my glory.
It was I who created them.’”
.
Thinking of Same God by Elevation and The Same Power by Jeremy Camp.
.
The Same Power
I can see
Waters raging at my feet
I can feel
The breath of those surrounding me
I can hear
The sound of nations rising up
We will not be overtaken
We will not be overcome
I can walk
Down this dark and painful road
I can face
Every fear of the unknown
I can hear
All God’s children singing out
We will not be overtaken
We will not be overcome
The same power that rose Jesus from the grave
The same power that commands the dead to wake
Lives in us, lives in us
The same power that moves mountains when He speaks
The same power that can calm a raging sea
Lives in us, lives in us
He lives in us, lives in us
We have hope
That His promises are true
In His strength
There is nothing we can’t do
Yes, we know
There are greater things in store
We will not be overtaken
We will not be overcome
The same power that rose Jesus from the grave
The same power that commands the dead to wake
Lives in us, lives in us
The same power that moves mountains when He speaks
The same power that can calm a raging sea
Lives in us, lives in us
He lives in us, lives in us
Greater is He that is living in me
He’s conquered our enemy
No power of darkness
No weapon prevails
We stand here in victory
Greater is He that is living in me
He’s conquered our enemy
No power of darkness
No weapon prevails
We stand here in victory
Oh, in victory
The same power that rose Jesus from the grave
The same power that commands the dead to wake
Lives in us, lives in us
The same power that moves mountains when He speaks
The same power that can calm a raging sea
Lives in us, lives in us
He lives in us, lives in us
God, he lives in us.

That’s something to celebrate every day, sisters speaking to myself here more than you! ❤
.
Love, hugs, and prayers! ❤
Amen

Amen! I just picked Same God to play this passed week at Jail Ministry because we talked about the importance of Bible study, and I told them God was the same yesterday, as today, and will be tomorrow! One of my favorite songs!! Have you heard the new Elevation Song “I Know a Name??” My NEW FAV!!!
I just listened to it; powerful! Thanks for mentioning it here! ❤
A beautiful encouragement today Cee Gee! Not overtaken not overcome thank you!,,
❤ I was thinking of you and your recent post as I copied those lyrics! ❤
Same God! Never changes! Hallelujah! ❤️
❤
I honestly struggle with this lately. It says that God calls us by name, but I am so shamefully embarrassed of my name. One of my favorite songs says “I healed your heart, I CHANGED your name” I pray that God doesn’t see me the way that the world sees me, where I am embarrassed of my name. Where I am ashamed every time I have to say my name out loud. I can’t help but to feel like, “please God, don’t call me by that name. That’s not who I am* I pray that He sees me as more. I pray that He sees me as better than what my name means in the world.
❤
God works in mysterious ways and he can see who you really are right down to your very soul! To him he sees you like he sees his son! You are perfectly made in his image and he will call you by your name because you too are his! God Loves You!!! Prayers for you sister!
❤
This breaks my heart. I’ve always has such fond memories and interactions with your name. The sweetest people I’ve ever known have your name. I’ve NEVER understood for it randomly got picked the by kids. I’m sure people have told you to just laugh it off or make a joke, but I’m sure that gets old! I pray God brings a new light to your eyes for for your name, and breaks every chain associated. Maybe God can use you to show young people the beauty in your name which means ‘pure’ and pure hearted!!
Amen
I have always loved the name Karen and never knew there was a negative attitude toward it!
One of my best friends has your name, and she is delightful. Those that know you will associate your name with who you are, as I do with my friend.
❤️ glad you are studying with us!
SPEAK, Lord. Give me the ears to hear and a heart to obey.

Psalm 24
1 The earth is the Lord’s, and everything in it.
The world and all its people belong to him.
2 For he laid the earth’s foundation on the seas
and built it on the ocean depths.
3 Who may climb the mountain of the Lord?
Who may stand in his holy place?
4 Only those whose hands and hearts are pure,
who do not worship idols
and never tell lies.
5 They will receive the Lord’s blessing
and have a right relationship with God their savior.
6 Such people may seek you
and worship in your presence, O God of Jacob.
7 Open up, ancient gates!
Open up, ancient doors,
and let the King of glory enter.
8 Who is the King of glory?
The Lord, strong and mighty;
the Lord, invincible in battle.
9 Open up, ancient gates!
Open up, ancient doors,
and let the King of glory enter.
10 Who is the King of glory?
The Lord of Heaven’s Armies—
he is the King of glory.

Seated on high in the heavens
Oh, Jesus You alone
You are the Lord God Almighty
Strong in compassion and mercy
Oh, Jesus You alone
❤
Amen

Lord..I’m Yours and yet I become overwhelmed with anxiety and fear about so many things. Please break this spirit of fear in me and loose Your power, love and sound mind! Thank You that I am Yours! In Jesus name, Amen
Praying❣️
Praying, sweet Aimee! ❤❤❤
God, thank You for promising to bring me peace. In every situation, help me to continue to keep my mind on You and Your good promises. Because I trust in Your control, I know I don’t have to be anxious about anything. Please remind me every day of this truth. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
Isaiah 26:3
This is the prayer my husband and I pray. I hope it brings you as much comfort as it does us. Just remember to give it all over to the Lord so he can sort it out for you.
Beautiful! Especially that you are praying it together!
Praying
I’m so grateful that the Lord speaks to me/us!
Now this is what the LORD says—
the one who created you, Jacob,
and the one who formed you, Israel—
“Do not fear, for I have redeemed you;
I have called you by your name; you are mine”
.
.
I imagined these words were to me, today, the cowardly sinner, who often forgets who her God is..
Now this is what my Father God, Lord of my heart and lover of said heart says—
.
..the One who created you, TINA
.
and the One who formed you,
.
“Do not fear, for I have redeemed you, TINA;
I have called you by your name; your real and given name, CHRISTIANA, you are mine”
.
This is so what I needed to hear this morning, and every day…
I shall write these on my heart and my mirrors so when I am forgetful of this gift of re-leasing and beautiful words, I need only look at myself in the mirror..
.
Do not be afraid, for I have ransomed you,
I have set you free..,
I have un-chained you from all your bondage..
I have re-leased you from all that hold you captive..
I have bought your freedom..
.
I am His!
Now this is what the LORD…
.
BUT GOD..
.
AMEN..
.
Happy Merry Sunday my dears..
Holding you all close in prayer and covering you in truckloads of love and hugs..❤
.
Blessings.. YOU ARE HIS!❤❤
Right back atcha, sister!!! ❤❤❤
AMEN! I’m right with you and hear you loud and clear!
Love it Tina…spoke right to my heart! What important words..for all of us, His children. Those that call on the name of Jesus, are his children. He loves everyone, but cherishes us and transforms us into his image!
❤️
Amen❤️
What a wonderful verse to wake to this morning. This is what THE LORD says….
