As we do our text today from Isaiah chapter 43 verse 5 through 7 in the new living translation of the scripture, you'll find these words.

Do not be afraid, but I am with you.

I will gather you and your children from east and west.

I will say to the north and south,

bring my sons and daughters back to Israel,

from the distant corners of the earth.

Bring all who claim me as their God.

But I have made them for my glory.

It was I who created them.

And I'm speaking today from the subject,

your story, God's glory.

Your story, God's glory.

You may be seated.

Here it is clear that God was speaking to Israel,

but because we are the children of Abraham by our confessed faith in the Lord Jesus,

our elder brother, our Savior, our Redeemer,emer Yeshua this also applies to us we are the children of Abraham by faith because we've been grafted into the family of God God chose us that's the beautiful thing about being adopted you know know, when you have children on your own, you're stuck with what you have.

But when you adopt somebody, you were chosen. And we were grafted in. We were chosen, accepted into the beloved.

And I would say this, that in your life, there's a story that can actually point to God in an incredible way,

and it can highlight God's character, and it highlights God's power.

And in the story of your life, I just came to let you know that God is actually writing an epic in your life.

It is not some boring, sad story.

It's an epic.
