I was there in the beginning...

Isaiah 41 : 1-13

Isaiah 41

English Standard Version (ESV)

Fear Not, for I Am with You

41  Listen to me in silence, O coastlands;
    let the peoples renew their strength;
let them approach, then let them speak;
    let us together draw near for judgment.

²  Who stirred up one from the east
    whom victory meets at every step?^[a]
He gives up nations before him,
    so that he tramples kings underfoot;
he makes them like dust with his sword,
     like driven stubble with his bow.
³ He pursues them and passes on safely,
    by paths his feet have not trod.
⁴  Who has performed and done this,
    calling the generations from the beginning?
I, the Lord, the first,
    and with the last; I am he.

⁵  The coastlands have seen and are afraid;
    the ends of the earth tremble;
    they have drawn near and come.
⁶ Everyone helps his neighbor
    and says to his brother, “Be strong!”
⁷  The craftsman strengthens the goldsmith,
    and he who smooths with the hammer him who strikes the anvil,
saying of the soldering, “It is good”;
    and they strengthen it with nails so that it cannot be moved.

⁸ But you, Israel, my servant,
    Jacob, whom I have chosen,
    the offspring of Abraham, my friend;
⁹ you whom I took from the ends of the earth,
    and called from its farthest corners,
saying to you, “You are my servant,
     I have chosen you and not cast you off”;
¹⁰ fear not, for I am with you;
    be not dismayed, for I am your God;
I will strengthen you, I will help you,
    I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.

¹¹  Behold, all who are incensed against you
    shall be put to shame and confounded;
those who strive against you
    shall be as nothing and shall perish.
¹²  You shall seek those who contend with you,
    but you shall not find them;
those who war against you
    shall be as nothing at all.
¹³ For I, the Lord your God,
    hold your right hand;
it is I who say to you, “Fear not,
    I am the one who helps you.”

He will NEVER  Leave US..
