A Prayer for Our Journey Toward the Promise By Kristine Brown “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.” Isaiah 43:2 NIV Looking back on my life, I see many detours and unexpected exits. Some roads were smooth, others rocky. God allowed the twists and turns to help me grow stronger and teach me to rely fully on him. But sometimes, I set out on my own, thinking I knew what was best for me. I forged my own paths. Yet even on those off-road trips of my own making, God never left me. He always made a way back to the path he intended for me. Maybe that’s why Isaiah 43:2 holds such special meaning. In chapter 43, Isaiah spoke of the beauty of being called God’s people. Even though they suffered because of their disobedience, the Creator of the universe chose them. God reassured the Israelites of his loving care and secured their future. |
