I love verbs.

I love action.  Action words.  Solid calls to action.  Proof that God has worked in some awesome way (or even some small way for that matter).

Isaiah 43:8-13 is full of action statements.

I have chosen... that you may know and believe me and understand...

Know Him

Believe Him

Place your faith in Him

Trust Him

Receive higher understanding and wisdom

Look even at the order of those verbs:

1. Chosen
2. Know
3. Believe
4. Place
5. Trust
6. Receive

Powerful verbs.  Powerful promises.  Powerful God.
