Introduction
A new thing! Welcome to your daily devotional podcast anchored in Isaiah 43:19: 'See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland.' I'm Malcolm Cox. Join me in January and February for a daily devotional podcast aimed at inspiring your personal times of quiet with God.
In the first few podcast episodes we will set the scene by looking at the entirety of Isaiah chapter 43. Today it is verses 10-13.
““You are my witnesses,” declares the LORD, “and my servant whom I have chosen, so that you may know and believe me and understand that I am he. Before me no god was formed, nor will there be one after me.
I, even I, am the LORD, and apart from me there is no Saviour.
I have revealed and saved and proclaimed— I, and not some foreign god among you. You are my witnesses,” declares the LORD, “that I am God.
Yes, and from ancient days I am he. No one can deliver out of my hand. When I act, who can reverse it?””
(Isaiah 43:10-13 NIV11)
- He will appoint you to be His special witness & servant
- The reason: That you may know, believe, & understand Him
- The facts
- He alone is God
- “For you are great and do marvellous deeds; you alone are God.” (Psalm 86:10 NIV11)
- He alone is the Saviour
- “To him who is able to keep you from stumbling and to present you before his glorious presence without fault and with great joy— to the only God our Savior be glory, majesty, power and authority, through Jesus Christ our Lord, before all ages, now and forevermore! Amen.” (Jude 1:24-25 NIV11)
- The witness you are to bear
- He has revealed the truth
- He has saved you
- He alone is God
- He alone possesses eternal power & judgment: No one can stop or reverse His works
For Reflection
- How do you feel about being God’s witness?
