Through the Waters

Bible in a Year:

• 1 Kings 1–2
• Luke 19:28–48

When you pass through the waters, I will be with you.

Isaiah 43:2 The movie The Free State of Jones tells the US Civil War story of Newton Knight and some Confederate deserters and slaves who aided the Union Army and then resisted slaveholders after the war. Many herald Knight as the hero, but two slaves first saved his life after his desertion. They carried him deep into a secluded swampland and tended a leg wound he suffered while fleeing Confederate forces. If they’d abandoned him, he would have died.

The people of Judah were wounded and desperate, facing enemies and feeling helpless. Israel had been overtaken by Assyria, and Isaiah prophesied that one day they (Judah) would also be overcome by an enemy—Babylonia. Judah needed a God who would help, who would rescue and not forsake them. Imagine, then, the surging hope when the people heard God’s assurance: “Do not be afraid, for I am with you” (Isaiah 43:5). Whatever calamity they faced or trouble they would endure, He would be with them. He would “pass through the waters” with them, leading them to safety (v. 2). He would “walk through the fire” with them, helping them through the scorching flames (v. 2).

Throughout Scripture, God promises to be with His people, to care for us, guide us, and never abandon us—whether in life or death. Even when you find yourself in difficult places, God is with you. He’ll help you pass through the waters.

Reflect & Pray

What deep waters are you facing? How does God’s promise to pass through them with you strengthen your heart today?

God, the water is deep, and I don’t see how I’m going to make it through. Thank You for promising to be with me and to carry me through!

Hai Kathy! (((HUGS))) Had a great day. I came down from my hotel room to the lobby to grab b’fast and some crew were there and got invited to a home church. It was fab! Prayed, sang had a video presentation from some pastor then a neat meal after. There were about 17 of us there. No worries, everything was sanitized.

Good evening, ML...((HUGS))...is it Blue weather yet?

You and Penny able to get out for a walk?

Nice and sunny here, with just a bit of a breeze, albeit quite chilly outside.

Good Poochie!

Today was cold, windy, and rainy.

A great day for indoor activities such as Piano and guitar Practice, watching documentaries, painting, and eating.

And, of course, FReeping.

You KNOW how Penny hates the rain. Blue ain’t too fond of it either.

This emergency we are living through shows us how fragile our freedom is. Some of us live in states that want to keep us locked up as long as possible. Marching in the streets and demonstration are OK as long as it is a liberal cause. We are being watched over from above and no evil will go unnoticed.

Hello Veterans, wherever you are!!

[vetvetdoug]

Nemo and the MWD program makes me proud I was a part of the MWD program while in the USAF. Most of my duty was at Lackland and Keesler AFB as Viet Nam was winding down and I got to see many great MWD.
