Isaiah 43:2a When you pass through the waters, I will be with you…
I struggle with the fact that bad things happen to good people, bad things happen to people who don’t deserve it, bad things don’t always have an explanation, a reason, a rationale.
Isaiah 43:2b …and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you…
But Isaiah 1 doesn’t hide the fact that bad things happen. Isaiah 1 simply reminds us that when bad things happen, we do not need to fear because God is with us and we are His deeply loved children.
Isaiah 43:2c …When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned…
Lord, I struggle when bad things happen for no discernible reason. Thank You for the reminder that I am Your fiercely loved child, that You are with me always, even when bad things happen, That I have no need to fear because You’ve got me, no matter what. Thank You, Jesus. Amen.
Isaiah 43:2d …the flames will not set you ablaze.
Have a blessed day.
