Something to Remember in the River of Difficulty


Sometimes life can be overwhelming as we face the challenges before us. The Book of Isaiah was written to the people of Israel to prepare them for some upcoming tough circumstances and yet it was also written to give them hope that the LORD would be with them throughout the imminent challenges.

Listen to these inspired words written in the Book of Isaiah … "But now, O Jacob, listen to the LORD who created you. O Israel, the one who formed you says, “Do not be afraid, for I have ransomed you. I have called you by name; you are mine. 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. For I am the LORD, your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior” (Isaiah 43:1-3 NLT).

The next time you find yourself facing rivers of difficulty and are tempted to think you will be swept away remember that the LORD, your God will be with you and see you through the deep waters!
