Scripture Sunday: Isaiah 43:2

Every Sunday on this site I will take some time to look at a passage from the Bible that I like and think is great... though they could obviously be presented by themselves without further mention, I will throw my two cents in on what the verse(s) mean to me.

Today we look at a verse when God tells us that He is with us always, no matter where we go or what we see. It comes from Isaiah.

"When you pass through the water, I will be with you; in the rivers you shall not drown. When you walk through fire, you shall not be burned; the flames shall not consume you." (Isaiah 43:2)

God's message to us here is very clear... there is nowhere we can go where we are beyond the reach of Him. There will be many times in our life where will we feel down, or unworthy, or that we are "too bad" for God to save us, He tells us that is not the case.

We must always be willing to turn to God, to let Him help us. When we are in danger, or in despair, remember that God will not let us drown if we just turn to Him. Through all of the difficult time in life, we have to allow God into our hearts.

Next time you feel like you are past the point of redemption, simply remember that God will be with you, saving you from the fire. There is no need to be afraid.
