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.
I heard this statement the other day "What you have been through is not permanent." I'm so thankful for that because when we're going through things we tend to think nothing will change, that we're stuck. We find it hard to imagine that we're definitely coming out the other side whether it's finances, relationships, health issues, whatever, and it's then we need a gentle reminder that we do have the promise of God on it in our verse today.
We all go through things at different times in our lives and at the time they can seem overwhelming or impossible but looking back over a long time I can testify that God has always been faithful and He did what He said - He brought me through and out the other side and He will do the same for you as you trust Him.
There is always light at the end of the tunnel when our hand is being held by Almighty God. He has promised that our path will get brighter and brighter, now hang on to that promise with confidence in Him and in His word.
You are not staying in the valley, you are passing through it and there are still wonderful mountain tops to enjoy. 😊
Be encouraged whatever it is you are experiencing at the minute, it's not permanent - you are passing through it with the Lord Himself. The waters wont overflow you, you wont be burned up and you wont be consumed..
Going through means there is an exit point at some juncture, so be assured He will bring you out and He'll strengthen and help you while you're still in it, until He does. 😊
