Isa 43:1 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:
The watch care
given to God's kids ought to ease our greatest fears. This assurance of
protection given to Israel is no less applicable to His children of today, for
we also are His redeemed, called by His name and we belong to Him.
You may well
note that we are not promised smooth sailing, According to verse two, we may
well pass through deep waters of trials, but the promise is that we are assured
of His presence and that the waters will not overwhelm us. We will face fiery
trials of affliction, but we will not be overcome by the flames.
The Lord assures
us that He is our holy God and our blessed Saviour. Therefore, we must trust
His watch care over us.
So, when the
trials come, and they surely will, lean on Him, look for His guidance, learn
His lessons, and live for a better day.
In the midst of
your most severe trials, remember these words which were found scrawled on the
walls of a tunnel in Germany after World War Two...
“I believe in the sun
when it's not shining, I believe in love even when I feel it not, I believe in
God even when he is silent.”
Indeed, the sun
will shine again, love will shine through and God will shine upon you. He is
with you, child of God. He will never leave you, nor forsake you. You are His
and He will not allow your ruin.
