Isaiah 43:10-13 “You are My witnesses,” declares the LORD, “And My servant whom I have chose , so that you may know and believe Me And understand that I am He, “Before Me there was no God formed, and there will be none after Me, I, even I, am the LORD, and there is no savior besides Me. “It is I who have declared and saved and proclaimed, And there was no strange god among you; So you are My witnesses” declares the LORD, “And I am God. “Even from eternity I am He, and there is none who can deliver out of My hand; I act and who can reverse it?” Oh mighty God, we come together as the body of Christ-Your remnant-in agreement that You are Almighty and All-powerful. Move in the hearts of the lost in every nation. Build up those who are persecuted for Your namesake. Give them courage and strength to hold on to the hem of Your garment. May they be like a ring on Your finger-along for the ride. May they be so in tune with what the Spirit has to say. In Jesus’s name, Amen. 🙂 ❤️
@Chickadee Amen! Beautifully expressed. Especially the "ring on His finger" part.

I have a dear sister in the Lord who served in a restricted nation. Years ago as we prayed together, she spoke being the “ring in His finger.” It struck me then and I have held it close in my heart since. There is a passage in Jeremiah 13 where he references the waistband clinging to the waist of a man and how we (and Israel) were made to cling to Him. Such powerful imagery.
