You Pass Through by Kirk Hunt
When you pass through the waters, I will be with you;
And through the rivers, they shall not overflow you.
When you walk through the fire, you shall not be burned,
Nor shall the flame scorch you.
Isaiah 6:1 NKJV
First, the bad news: You will pass through hard, difficult places. Now, the good news: God will be with you, and help you, through every moment.
All Christians have a calling from God. If you are obedient to Him, He will lead you through deep waters, raging rivers and burning places. His promise is to carry you through those places, not over them.
In the middle of the deep deluge, you might forget. Navigating the vicious rapids, you may be distracted. Dodging flames and burning embers, you may have concerns. No matter how it looks, He is there, carrying you through.
Why do we go through these hard and harsh places? Sometimes, our trials build something into us that we need. Other times, our struggles remove the imperfections in our soul and character. Perhaps you are example to others who see Him in your circumstances.
His will or purposes do not always make sense to us. Maybe, one day in eternity, He will explain. Until then, spit out the water, or brush off the ashes. Rely on His promises.
No matter what happens, the God of the universe promises to be right where you are. Stretch your faith toward His faithfulness. Rest your obedience on this promise: He will be with you.
Think: God promises to be with us. Do I believe His promises?
Pray: “Lord, hold my hand as I travel through difficult places with You.”
