Isaiah 54:4 - "Don't be afraid, because you will not be ashamed. Don't be embarrassed, because you will not be disgraced." NIV - "Do not fear disgrace; you will not be humiliated."
God is the one who saves. "Mountains may disappear and hills may come to an end," but God's love never ends. "I will build you using fairness. You will be safe from those who would hurt you... If anyone does attack you, it will not be my doing; whoever attacks you will surrender to you."
"No weapon forged against you will prevail, and you will refute every tongue that accuses you. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and this is their vindication from me, says the LORD." God is in control. No "man" can "forge" anything against us. Who made man? Man can think he has the power to make the fire hot and forge a tool, but it is GOD who made man... and it is God who is in control.
If you are thirsty—come to me (God). Why waste your time running after things that cannot satisfy? Come to me—and listen; listen to me so you can live. Return to the LORD so He can have mercy on you. Come to our God for forgiveness.
The LORD says, "My thoughts are not like your thoughts. Your ways are not like my ways. Just as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts higher than your thoughts." Rain waters the ground, the same can be said of my (God's) words. "They will not return to me empty. They make the things happen that I want to happen, and they succeed in doing what I sent them to do."
