Read: Isaiah 43:20-21
O, what a comforting reminder it is to know that even in the midst of peril, as the storms of life are raging, God is still with us. He provides for us, even when it seems like we’re on the verge of calamity, he’s still there. This passage emphasizes that God can make a way for us out of no way. Even the dangerous and wild things of this world still worship the Lord. His living water gives us the energy to keep moving forward and the hope to know that he has not abandoned us. This passage also reminds us that if it had not been for the Lord on our side, where would we be?
When we adopt a Christ-like perspective and view our trials through the lens of faith, we’re able to see God’s presence in our trials. Even though we’re not able to see in the natural world how the Lord is working things out for us, rest assured that he’s behind the scenes making a way for us.
God, thank you for not abandoning us. Your word says that in this world, we will have trouble - trouble and hard times unfortunately are a reality of life - but to be of good cheer for you have overcome the world. We take solace in the fact that your mighty hand is still upon us and that you, and you alone, will keep us safe. We give honor to your holy name. We magnify and praise you. Amen.
