It is impossible for you & I to understand the depth of God's words when He said in Isaiah 43, "Fear not, I have redeemed you, I have called you by your name, you are mine." God affirms us and reminds us that we belong to Him and He is the One who has redeemed us from our sin.
God addresses two obstacles of fear in man in verse 2 that follows: water and fire. Many men are extremely fearful of deep water because they realize the force of power that water holds. Fire is another fear of man because it can cause such great damage in a matter of seconds.
But after verse 2 when God addresses both water and fire, He makes a profound statement. He said, "When you walk through the water" it will have no power over you. And "When you walk through the fire" its' flame will not even sit upon you. There is no reason for your fear because "I am God."
Scripture always reminds us of the awesomeness of God. He is Sovereign and in total control of your life, if you have surrendered it to Him. So, "Fear Not".
