“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 ESV
God
uses water and fire throughout the Bible as necessary passages of faith which
not only prove His presence with us but also usher us into new realms of
spiritual life and blessing.
This
promise reminds us of God’s miraculous provision and breakthrough for all who
face seemingly overwhelming circumstances.
The
Red Sea, Jordan River, Nebuchadnezzar’s fiery furnace, and Jesus’ baptisms of
water and fire all testify He’s using it for good to give us a future and a
hope.
