Listen up recruits! Isaiah 41 is about God's chosen people, Israel. He tells them to not be afraid, because He's got their backs. He encourages them to stand up against their enemies and He'll be there to help them. He says He'll give them strength and He will be their shield. He promises to deliver them from their enemies and make them victorious. He tells them He will be their guide and protector, and He will bless them and make them prosperous. So don't be afraid, recruits; God's got your back!
