Don’t be afraid
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. Isaiah 43:2
What are you afraid of right now? Afraid you’re not good enough. Afraid you’ve screwed this thing up beyond repair. Afraid you’re in over your head and can’t make it work. Afraid you don’t have what it takes and this is as far as you will ever go. Afraid if your truth is told, bad things will happen. Afraid you will always be stuck here. Afraid this is the end. Regardless of what your answer to these questions are, I’d like to remind you that God remains in control.
Tucked away in God’s word is a sweet and powerful promise to you from your Creator.
Isaiah 43:2 says, ‘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.’ Did you hear that? This fear, the one you just identified, God wants to lift that from you now. This is a promise you were destined to be reminded of on this very day of your life. God makes it very clear, life is not a matter of if you ever get in over your head, it’s WHEN you do and when you do, God promises to be there with you.
