“…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…” – Isaiah 43:2 (KJV)

I have always loved this verse. I’m so glad that no matter what we go through in life, God is right there with us, walking every step of the way. He won’t let troubled waters overwhelm us. He won’t let fiery trials burn us and consume us. Even though we may feel like we’re overwhelmed and drowning in the sea of despair, He will uphold us. There are many times that we can’t see a way out when we’re in the midst of the storm. But that’s exactly why we need to stay close to God. God tells us that He is always, and will always be with us every moment, of every day. He’s already into tomorrow, He knows what lies ahead and He knows what we will face. We can completely trust and depend on Him to walk us through whatever comes our way and to be there when we come out on the other side. And we will get through it, as long as we trust the Lord and keep our eyes focused on Jesus. He is the source of our comfort and hope!

If you’re feeling overwhelmed right now with what you are facing, let me encourage you today to keep looking to Jesus, the Author and Finisher of our faith. Even when you can see Him or feel Him around you, He is.

When going through the storms of life,
Keep on trusting in Jesus, and He will see you through!
