Devotions: Not Alone

“When you pass through the waters, I will be with you;
And through the rivers, they will not overflow you.
When you walk through the fire, you will not be scorched,
Nor will the flame burn you.”

Isaiah 43:2 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

God said this to Israel, and it was true because He had redeemed them. As believers, we are also included in the list of the redeemed, so this promise applies to us as well. Notice that it does not say “if” but “when.” We will go through deep, raging waters and walk through fire. It is a part of life and our status as children of God does not exempt us from it. But we have this promise that when we go through it, He will be with us. We will not drown, be swept away, scorched or burned. He will protect us in the midst of the trials we face. That is the difference our faith makes. All people experience hardship, but as believers, we don’t face it alone. We have God to guide and protect us. We won’t go through it alone. That is a promise, and God never goes back on His word. What are you going through? What troubles are you facing? Are you trusting in God to get you through it, relying on His strength, wisdom and guidance? Take comfort in the fact that He is there and will rescue you if you trust Him, in His time. Even if you feel alone, He is there.
