“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.” (Isaiah 43:2)
There are times when we will experience trouble on every side. During those experiences we do have a tendency to ask, “Why me, Lord?” At times we might feel, “I can’t take one more thing.” . Spurgeon wrote, “The new believers lack an understanding of the necessity of the trial but I fear that some of us older Christians have forgotten. “If they were always at ease they would fall into living by feeling, instead of walking by faith. Therefore the Lord tries them, leads them by a desert path, clouds their sky, and burdens their backs. Then they enquire, "How is this?" Some of us know that when God shuts us up in the dark, he loves us as dearly as when he pours sunlight on us. ‘We can be a child of God, and yet be so afflicted?’” Today, let us be reminded that Christ is in the storm. He is a God that is with us and will never leave or forsake us. Yet, the trial is necessary. GiGi❤️
