The often expressed Scriptural teaching about God’s purpose in creating and redeeming His people serves again here as a comfort and guidepost for our lives.

I. The universal problem of spiritual failure in our own strength (42:18-25)

II. God’s favor toward us (His chosen people) (43:1)

III. God’s never failing care for us (43:2-5)

IV. Our place in the universe is clear- for God’s glory (43:6-7)
