“‘Listen to me, descendants of Jacob,
all you who remain in Israel.
I have cared for you since you were born.
Yes, I carried you before you were born.
I will be your God throughout your lifetime—
until your hair is white with age.
I made you, and I will care for you.
I will carry you along and save you.’”
Isaiah 46:3–4
encouragement for today
Here is yet another place where God speaks of carrying his people. According to these verses, God had you in mind before you were even born! He planned you, he loved the thought of you before you were born, he made you exactly the way he imagined you in his love. And he pledges himself in these verses to carry you every day of your life until you die and he takes you back again. A passage worth memorizing—live as if this were true, trust as if this were true. (It is!)
