The Father’s Presence: Made Me For His Own

Oct 1, 2020 | Posted by Margo Fieseler | Uncategorized |

“But now, God’s Message, the God who made you in the first place, the One who got you started: “Don’t be afraid, I’ve redeemed you. I’ve called your name. You’re mine. 
   When you’re in over your head, I’ll be there with you. When you’re in rough waters, you will not go down. When you’re between a rock and a hard place, it won’t be a dead end— Because I am God, your personal God, The Holy of Israel, your Savior. I paid a huge price for you. That’s how much you mean to me! That’s how much I love you!
   I’d sell off the whole world to get you back, trade the creation just for you. “So don’t be afraid: I’m with you.”
    I, yes I, am God. I’m the only Savior there is. I spoke, I saved, I told you what existed long before these upstart gods appeared on the scene. And you know it, you’re my witnesses, you’re the evidence.” 
    God’s Decree. “Yes, I am God. I’ve always been God and I always will be God. No one can take anything from me. I make; who can unmake it?” Isaiah 43:1-5, 9-13 MSG

In Isaiah 43, we see what REAL happiness looks like…and it’s based on everything God is, has done, is doing and will continue to do. 

Happiness based on me and my circumstances will ebb and flow. Not so when I see that God is the source of my happiness. 

He made me. He got me started. He’s redeemed me. He’s called me by name. I am His. And when I am in over my head…He’s there. Or in rough waters…He won’t let me drown.  Or when I’m between a rock and a hard place…He makes a way when there seems to be no way. 

Wow! That should be enough. But He makes sure to tell me that He would sell off all of creation just to get me back. So I don’t need to be afraid of what is coming. He is with me! 

And the most exciting part is that He has me as His witness. Little ole me. I am His evidence. I am to live His Words. I am to trust His Words. I am to rejoice in Him in my everyday as He allows all things for my good and His glory. Others will see Him through me…and perhaps want to know what a REAL happiness is. 

I can smile, in the midst of the everyday, the mundane, the sadness, the joy, the loneliness, the busyness, the ups and downs of living…and point to my God…the only Savior there is. He spoke. He saved. He’s always been God and always will be God. That’s His own decree and there is none higher. 

Happiness isn’t about me, it’s about God that made me for His own.

FROM THE COMMUNUTY

Yesterday my mom fell again walking outdoors at her apartment…She is okay & was released from hospital after a few hours. On the drive to West Bend after we got the call…I found complete peace just loving my God & knowing He was in control of the situation no matter what it was. And then reading your devotion today made my heart cry out with a love for Him that can’t be put into words.
Thank you & thank you & thank you for listening & obeying the Lord.
