Zechariah 10:11 They will pass safely through the sea of distress, ....
I'm sure all of us have sailed on the sea of distress at some time or another and God certainly knows when we do, but He's reassuring us here that we will pass safely through it. In other words He's making sure we come out the other side and He'll be the one bringing us out.
Isaiah felt the same way when the Holy Spirit inspired him to write the following:
Isaiah 43:2 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.....v.4 because you are precious to me. You are honored, and I love you.
Different things affect different people and what affects me will not affect you and vice versa, and the lovely thing is God knows us all so well He's totally aware of what upsets us and promises we will survive and wont be destroyed by whatever is trying to bring us down.
So take heart today, no matter what our circumstances, what personal fears, weariness or great difficulties we're working through, we can rest in our Saviour knowing He'll help us not only survive but bring us out stronger and wiser on the other side.
When He says He made us more than overcomers He means it. Be blessed today.
