Isaiah 4:32- When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee.
As I have read through the bible there are more things than I can count that have put me in awe of God and his power. But what has truly given me so much comfort with this particular verse is knowing that I have a God willing to walk through the fire with me. We see this also applied when we look in Daniel. One of my favorite stories in Daniel 3:25. Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon sets up a gold statue and commands the people to worship it. The king of Babylon sets a specific time everyday to do this and if you were found disobeying his command you would thrown into a fiery furnace. Because Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego stood firm in their faith and did not fall into worship with the crowd they were bound and thrown into the furnace. Nebuchadnezzar goes to investigate their fate he states that he sees four men in the fire. He describes this fourth man as being the Son of God. Not only did God protect the men from a fiery death, but he also joins them in the furnace. In Deuteronomy 31:6 it states that we don’t have to be afraid of anything because the Lord is with us and will not forsake us. I find a lot of comfort that I have an Almighty God that loves me and is willing to follow beside me in trials. I encourage you to take all things to the Lord big or small. He wants to hear what is going on in your life, and wants to be invited into the trials with you. You will never be alone.
