God has spoken to me very clearly for the last 8 years as I read through the Bible every year and I get to Isaiah 43:2 & 3.
“When you pass through the waters, I will be with you;
and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you.
When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze. For I am the Lord your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior.”
Eight years ago my life blew up. My son, David Glasser was a Phoenix Police Officer, who was killed in the line of duty on May 16, 2016. The promise of God in this scripture has been very real in my life.
When I am passing through the waves of grief…
*of disappointment…
*of disillusionment…
*of pain….
God is with me.
When I am passing through a river of tears…
*pierced by the shattered pieces of my broken heart.
*trying to figure out how to live with a huge hole in my life…
the river does not sweep over me. God is with me.
When I am walking through the fire of anger…
* not happy with my reality…..
* trying to understand….
I am not burned. God is with me.
I am passing through. I’m not getting stuck in these places. Everything that happens in my life has first gone through the hands of my Father God. He has a purpose.
So I will trust him as I pass through the water, the river and the fire.
Thank you for walking closely beside me, Abba Father.
