When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow you. When you walk through the fire you shall not be burned, nor shall the flame scorch you. (Isaiah 43:2)
The promises of God are yes and amen! We can all look back in our lives and visit times when we thought that we would never make it, and here we are. We have passed through waters and problems but God was with us and we are not drowned. We have passed through the fires of refinement and affliction and we are not burned or scorched and we do not even smell of smoke for He was with us. He is with us always and He is perfect love, and perfect love casts out all fear.
Every time the enemy tries to weaken your faith or there is another trial to walk through, be comforted and speak this out, if God be for me then who can be against me? He always causes us to triumph and we are more than conquerors through Him who loves us. Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding , in all your ways acknowledge Him and He will direct your path. Your steps are ordered by Him and He loves you. He will deliver you out of the fiery furnace.
Know this day that He is with you in your going out and with you at your arriving in. He is with you to keep you. The very pain you are walking through today are the seeds of your victory for tomorrow. Something always needs to be sowed in order to reap. Those who sow in tears will reap in joy. Keep running your race with Jesus and keep in mind that His grace,(which is His power), is sufficient for you!
