Isaiah 43:1-3, 7, 10-13

But now, this is what the LORD says— he who created you, O Jacob, he who formed you, O Israel: “Fear not, 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. For I am the LORD, your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior... Bring my sons from afar and my daughters from the ends of the earth—everyone who is called by my name, whom I created for my glory, whom I formed and made.... “You are my witnesses,” declares the LORD, “and my servant whom I have chosen, so that you may know and believe me and understand that I am he. Before me no god was formed, nor will there be one after me. I, even I, am the LORD, and apart from me there is no savior. I have revealed and saved and proclaimed—I, and not some foreign god among you. You are my witnesses,” declares the LORD, “that I am God. Yes, and from ancient days I am he. No one can deliver out of my hand. When I act, who can reverse it?”

I Lift Up my Eyes to the Hills



Every day on our walk to and from school, we are surrounded by the incredible beauty of the mountains. Lately, Psalm 121 has been on my heart. With all the many changes in our lives, it is comforting to remember our omniscient God. We may lift up our eyes to the hills to find a moments repose from the business of life, but our true help comes from our God. This eternal rest is what we hope to bring, with the Spirit’s help, to the people of Cochabamba. Rather than lifting their eyes to the hill with the statue of Christ, they will be able to seek their true salvation in the everlasting presence of our Lord.
