I Call You and Preserve You
Listen to me, O coastlands, and give attention, you peoples from afar. The Lord called me from the womb, from the body of my mother he named my name. He made my mouth like a sharp sword; in the shadow of his hand he hid me; he made me a polished arrow; in his quiver he hid me away.
Isaiah 49:1-2 ESV
I have a purpose for you. A plan that is greater than you could ever imagine. Before you were even born, I knew that purpose. Before your mother knew your name, I had already named you. I call you beloved, chosen, royal priest, a precious masterpiece. You are My prized possession. I have you hidden away and protected under My mighty hand until I know the timing is perfect for releasing you into what I have called you to. During that time, I am preparing you for what I already prepared for you. I have gone ahead of you and made the way. I already know what doors need to be opened and when to open them. Rest in who I say you are and in My perfect timing. Nothing is wasted in your life. I will use it all. Stay where I have you until the time is right, and I Myself will bring you out of hiding.
