March 13th, 2013 by Pastor SolleyIsa 43:1-4 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. 4 Since thou wast precious in my sight, thou hast been honourable, and I have loved thee: therefore will I give men for thee, and people for thy life.
There are times when the flood waters of life rise up and the swells surround us, when we find ourselves passing through the waters. These times occur in the lives of every individual, saved or lost, no one goes through this life free from pain and sorrow. It is at those times when we must remember that our God goes with us, walks with us, and keeps us. It is at those times when faith in His guiding hand needs to increase. It is at those times when prayer needs to increase as well. So many times the Christian is such a state withdraws from everyone including the Lord, but it is times like these that we need draw closer to Him, seek His face and His presence all the mores, and remember we are not forsaken, He goes with us all the way.
