In the midst of life’s darkest moments!
“Do not be afraid, for I have ransomed you.
I have called you by name; you are Mine!
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.
For I am the LORD, your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior!”
Isaiah 43:1-3
1 But now thus saith the LORD that created thee, O Jacob, and he that
formed thee, O Israel, Fear not: for I have redeemed thee, I have called
thee by thy name; thou art mine.
2 When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through
the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the
fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee.
3 For I am the LORD thy God, the Holy One of Israel, thy Saviour: I gave
Egypt for thy ransom, Ethiopia and Seba for thee.
In these comforting words, we are reminded of the unwavering love and
protection that our Heavenly Father extends to all of His redeemed people.
When we feel overwhelmed by the crashing waves of life’s difficulties,
these verses speak a resounding message of hope and reassurance. God declares
that He has ransomed us, claiming us as His own, and promising to be ever-present
as we navigate the turbulent waters and raging fires that may threaten to consume
us. No matter how deep the valley, or how scorching the flames of trial, we need
not fear, for our Almighty God walks alongside us. He is the Holy One, our Savior,
who will not allow the rushing torrents to sweep us away, or the blazing furnace to
burn us up.
Just as a loving parent shields their child, so does our Heavenly Father
wrap us in His protective embrace, shielding us from harm and carrying us through
every storm.
These words are a steadfast anchor for our souls, reminding us that we belong to
the King of kings, who has called us by name and will never abandon us, no matter
what challenges we face.
In the midst of life’s darkest moments, we can cling to the unshakable truth that
our God is with us, and that nothing can separate us from His unfailing love!
“Only one life to live and soon is past
Only what’s done for Christ will last!”
Hoping to make the time I have left count for the glory of God.
