From cradle to grave, He's got you covered. 

"Listen to Me, O house of Jacob, And all the remnant of the house of Israel, You who have been borne by Me from birth 
And have been carried from the womb; Even to your old age I will be the same, And even to your graying years I will bear you! I have done it, and I will carry you; And I will bear you and I will deliver you." (Isaiah 46.3-4) 

As His covenant people through Christ, these promises to Israel apply to us. He has birthed us, carries us, bears with us, and will ultimately deliver us. From cradle to grave, we can count on Him. The proof is His declaration: 

"I am God, and there is no other; I am God, and there is no one like Me, Declaring the end from the beginning, And from ancient times things which have not been done, Saying, 'My purpose will be established, And I will accomplish all My good pleasure' " (Isaiah 46.9-10)

The One who "has our back," from cradle to grave, promises that everything He says is as good as done! So, these promises implore us to walk faithfully and confidently, no matter what a fallen world throws at us today or tomorrow. We're truly in good hands, from life's beginning to end.
