"God's People Called to the Stand" (Isaiah 43:8-13) - Daily Manna - 02/13/26

Feb 13, 2026    Rabbi Cosmo Panzetta

What happens when God puts the nations on trial?


Isaiah 43 paints a stunning courtroom scene: the idols of the world are challenged to speak, to act, to save… and they fall silent. But then comes the surprise—God’s people are not just spectators—the LORD calls His People to the witness stand!

“You are My witnesses,” declares Adonai.


In this teaching from Isaiah 43:8–13, you’ll hear the Lord’s call to step into your purpose again: not to panic with the nations, not to be swept up in fear, but to shine as a living testimony that He alone saves.


This message explores:

·      The courtroom challenge to the false gods

·      The calling of Israel to be a light to the nations

·      What it means to truly know the Lord—not just intellectually, but by experience

·      Why God’s people are still called to the stand today

·      How to live with trust when the world is trembling


If you’ve ever wondered, “Does God see me?” or “What is my purpose in exile?”—Isaiah’s answer is clear:

“Fear not… You are Mine.”
