Updating the Liturgy

So, if you paraphrase The Message, what exactly is it at that point?

I believe I will call it the super-illegal-bootlegged-Margheimish-Message by Eugene Peterson Version (SIBMMEPV).

Isaiah 43.2ish (SIBMMEPV)

"Don't be afraid, I've redeemed you.
I've called your name. You're mine.
When you're in over your head, I'll be there with you.
When you're in rough waters, you will not go down.
When you're between a rock and a hard place,
it won't be a dead end—
Because I am God, your personal God,
The Holy of Israel, your Rescuer."



Ok, so I only changed one word. But that's my new Christian trend-setting crusade.

Anywho, this verse popped up in the ESV Bible RSS Feed just now, and I liked it.

Peace, love and joy to you all
