Prayer Week, Baptisms, Crisis Care Kits and more
I S A I A H 4 3 : 1 - 7
Think of a time in your life where you were going through a struggle or difficulty? How did you feel in the midst of difficulty? Did you ever question or ask: Why God? Why me?
Today’s passage reminds us to not allow fear to invade as we walk through difficult times. The Lord our God will always be with us and see us through, and never leave our side during these times.
This is a true reminder of God’s character. No matter the difficulty, He will be right beside us, carrying us along the way. He will not allow us to drown in a river of difficulty or burn in a fire of oppression. Instead God will see us through whatever we are facing.
We as Christians can trust that no matter what hard thing comes our way, our Lord will be right there with us on that journey each and every step.
What difficulty are you facing today? Have you given it to God and allowed him to lead you through it?
What fears are holding you back from giving the difficulty to God and allowing him to lead? Give those fears to God and allow him to work in you and lead you through this time.
