GOD’S
PROMISES FOR OUR PROBLEMS!
Isa
43:2-4
2
When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee;
and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through
the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee.
3
For I am the Lord thy God, the Holy One of Israel, thy Saviour: I gave
Egypt for thy ransom, Ethiopia and Seba for thee.
4
Since thou wast precious in my sight, thou hast been honourable, and I have
loved thee: therefore will I give men for thee, and people for thy life.
These
promises made to Israel we eagerly apply to our self. If God gave
Egypt for the ransom of a nation then we rejoice to recall that He gave His
only begotten Son for our redemption. If those vast lands and peoples were
sacrificed because the Jews were “precious” in His sight then how much more
must He love us since He gave His Son for us?
A
dry way was made through the Red Sea and the Jordan River! We can be
confident of God’s protection when life’s horrors threaten to wash over us. The
flames would not kindle upon the three Hebrew children in the fiery furnace
because there was a fourth man in the fire whose likeness was as the Son of
God.
God
did not promise to remove us from troublesome situations but He did
promise to join us. His own presence would comfort and reassure us.
Ps
30:4-5
4
Sing unto the Lord , O ye saints of his, and give thanks at the remembrance of
his holiness.
5
For his anger endureth but a moment; in his favour is life: weeping may endure
for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.
Dear
Lord, may your presence go with those who are enduring trials. Bring Joy in the
morning! Amen
