'Do Not Be Afraid.'
Isaiah 43:1-2.
a) The Lord was speaking to the people that He Loved and Created.
b) He Created His People.
c) He formed His People.
d) He told His People not to fear because He had Redeemed them.

f) He desired His People to have assurance that they belonged to Him.
g) The Lord would be with His People when they:-

(This QT encourages me: Do Not Be Afraid)

'We Need Grace To Stand.'
1 Timothy 6:21.
a) Some people had made profession and claimed to have knowledge of the things of the Lord.
b) In doing so they abandoned and departed from the Faith.
c) God's Grace and good will are necessary for us to stand.
(This Second one reminds me that I Need Grace To Stand)

Chris.
God summoned His People by name. This is something that He has always done, from the earliest days of Genesis until now. When God summons His People by name it does not normally be something noisy and dramatic, it is more often softly and clearly. God is not mysterious towards His People, He wants us to understand clearly.
