Friday – Prophets
Reading – Isaiah 43-45
Highlight Verse:
“When you go through deep waters, I will be with you. When you go through rivers of difficulty, you will not drown. When you walk through the fire of oppression, you will not be burned up; the flames will not consume you.”
Isaiah 43:2 NLT
One word leapt off the page at me – “when.”
Not “if.”
“When.”
Difficult times are not optional for humans.
Sure, some will have more suffering than others.
Many in this world suffer the effects of war, crime, injustice , and illness.
All suffer through emotional traumas, aging, and loss.
Not all will experience God’s comfort and support.
God does not force himself on anyone.
But for those who trust Him, He will comfort, support, and guide them through the fires and floods of life.
Are you feeling overwhelmed by the circumstances of life?
Do you trust Jesus to be with you through the struggles?
