Seeking God | Day 13
Isaiah 43:1-3
But now thus says the Lord, he who created you, O Jacob, he who formed you, O Israel: “Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by name, you are mine. (2) 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. (3) For I am the Lord your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior.
Lean into the Lord. Sometimes we are tempted to lean away from Him. This is especially true when we go through hardships. We need to remember who the Lord is and what He has done for us. Knowing Him as our Redeemer has to be a rock solid foundation for our lives, because there are crisis moments that we will face. We do not need to be afraid of trials. We should actually anticipate them. You will be tested, there will be pressure and pain and hardships. This could come in so many different ways. Maybe a health crisis, or a broken relationship, a job loss, or a prodigal child. The Lord is doing something through all of this. We are not walking through them alone, He is with us. And if He is with us we will not be overwhelmed, but will come through unscathed. My friends, lean in deeply into God’s abundant grace and promises. Choose to trust and look to Him.
PRAYER – We are prone to wander. Ask the Lord to keep your heart from wandering from Him and to know His grace more deeply. Pray for someone you know who needs to lean in to the Lord.
