Isaiah 43:1
43But now, this is what the LORD says – he who created you, Jacob, he who formed you, Israel: ‘Do not fear, for I have redeemed you; I have summoned you by name; you are mine.
I am blown away by the smallest of whispers from his spirit. It reads in Isaiah 43 that God;
CREATED JACOB,
but,
FORMED ISRAEL.
God created you, at the beginning, at the start, you were created. But today, he forms you, today he shapes you.
Yes he caused your existence like the mixing of ingredients for dough, but today, he rolls your shape.
See he is bringing to completion ALL that he started. What will he leave undone?!
Today is defining your shape. Today is smoothing your edges. Today you are closer to completion than you have ever been.
Today he has shaped you more. Little by little, glory to glory.
He created you in your beginning.
But today, he forms the new you.
You might even get a new name to match your profile.
Isaiah 43:7
7everyone who is called by my name, whom I created for my glory, whom I formed and made.’
