Isaiah 43-44, Galatians 3: 26-29, Galatians 4: 1-20, Psalm 144: 1-8
Isaiah 43: 2 (ESV)
“When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and
through the rivers, they shall not overwhelm you; when you walk through fire
you shall not be burned, and the flame shall not consume you.”
In verse 2 from Isaiah 43, Isaiah the prophet tells us the
promises of Father-God for us. He promises to be us with trials of water and fire.
Water is chaotic and dangerous, but Father-God promised to be with us. Rivers
in the Bible represented insurmountable obstacles in the Bible, yet Father-God
promised they will not overwhelm us. Fire was often a symbol of judgement and purification
in the Bible, and Father-God promised that we will not be burned or consumed by
it. Fire was also often seen as a time of trial and testing in the Bible, and
Father-God promised he will always be with us during these times.
This verse makes me think of all times in my life where I
felt I was in a situation where it felt like I was drowning. I think of times
when I felt like I was in a situation where I felt everything in my life was
going to burn up, or I was in a time of trial and testing. I prayed to Father-God
during these seasons, and I always felt like Father-God was always with me and
that I wouldn’t have survived these times without him. I often forget these
times where I felt so strongly the presence of Father-God and how he saved me,
but reading this verse reminds me that Father-God has always been with me through
my whole life.
If you enjoyed reading my thoughts on this Bible verses, and
you want a Father-God who will be with you through the trials of your life so
they will never overwhelm you because of your faith in Jesus Christ, please
pray this prayer out loud:
Heavenly Father, I want to give you my Life. Forgive me of
all of my sins. Wash me in your blood. I believe in my heart You raised Jesus
from the dead. I confess with my mouth Jesus is my Lord and Savior. Right now,
I receive forgiveness by the blood of Jesus. I am saved, I am forgiven, I am
clean, in Jesus’ name, Amen.
If you prayed this prayer, welcome to the family of
Father-God! Do yourself a favor and find and join a Holy Spirit filled, full
Gospel, Bible-based church where you can hear the words of Father-God preached
and experience signs, wonders, and miracles in your life.
