Mark Bernard-Blessing Point Ministries - Isaiah 41:1-10
1Coastlands, listen to Me in silence,And let the peoples gain new strength;Let them come forward, then let them speak;Let us come together for judgment.
2Who has aroused one from the eastWhom He calls in righteousness to His feet?He delivers up nations before himAnd subdues kings.He makes them like dust with his sword,As the wind-driven chaff with his bow.
3He pursues them, passing on in safety,By a way he had not been traversing with his feet.
4Who has performed and accomplishedit,Calling forth the generations from the beginning?I, the LORD, am the first, and with the last. I am He.
5The coastlands have seen and are afraid;The ends of the earth tremble;They have drawn near and have come.
6Each one helps his neighborAnd says to his brother, Be strong!
7So the craftsman encourages the smelter,Andhe who smoothsmetalwith the hammerencourageshim who beats the anvil,Saying of the soldering, It is good;And he fastens it with nails,So thatit will not totter.
8But you, Israel, My servant,Jacob whom I have chosen,Descendant of Abraham My friend,
9You whom I have taken from the ends of the earth,And called from its remotest partsAnd said to you, You are My servant,I have chosen you and not rejected you.
10Do not fear, for I am with you;Do not anxiously look about you, for I am your God.I will strengthen you, surely I will help you,Surely I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.Watch at: https://vimeo.com/1087543523
