Hi Darling,
Happy New Year!!
This morning waking up everyone mostly read the same Bible verse. Yet before it was even mentioned on my phone or whatever I felt led to read that certain chapter this morning.
“Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. 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.”
Isaiah 43:18-19
Yet although that is a key factor in everything. Let me tell you guys about the deep dive I’ve gone into.
Alright so Saturday I was out with my brothers and one of my brothers fiancée. We were just walking around when this song started to play. A Sky Full of Stars. Whenever I was on the way to where we were going my older brother happened to be playing that same song. Then a few days later I was with my other brother’s fiancée and we were dress shopping. The song began to play again. I’m like okay that’s so weird. Then yesterday I went with my best friend to get my godson’s hair cut. When we walked in this song starts playing again. Yet this time it was the instrumental version. I’m like okay God what the actual heck is up with this song. I love it, it’s a good song but like????
So I studied the lyrics and this morning after reading this chapter I put it all together.
In this chapter Isaiah 43, Israel is in the darkest season they’ve been in a while. They were in exile and under Babylonian captivity. They believed that God had even abandoned them in this darkness.
Which is why God responded with this:
“But 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. When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze.”
Isaiah 43:1-2 NIV
I wondered what does this have to do with the sky full of stars? Wellll
We are the sky full of stars and Jesus is trying to give us his heart. Oh no you’re stretching this out, you sound insane. Oh really? Well in correlation with us, I have also been very heavily in the book of 1st Samuel.
Called by name. 🌟
It states it here in Isaiah 43:1, 1st Samuel 3:4-9, Psalm 147:4.
“He determines the number of the stars and calls them each by name.”
Psalms 147:4 NIV
Get it yet?
We are the sky full of stars and he calls us precious, and his own. Isn’t that beautiful? He loves us so, so much. Let this be your reminder this year. You are seen and God knows your name. Every fault of last year has been forgotten now live this year like you are a shining star. ✨
Nuggets:
God doesn’t choose the obvious. He chooses the overlooked stars. ⭐️
Stars don’t shine for attention.
They shine because it’s who they are ✨
