“When
thou passest through the waters...when thou walkest through the fire...”
God’s people at the Red Sea and the three
Hebrew children in the fiery furnace are proof-texts of this wonderful promise.
The watermark may get high, but not high enough that we’ll drown. And the fires
may get seven times hotter than they are known to get, yet it will not consume
us. God has provided for us “life-jackets” for the storms, and fire-proof
garments for the furnace. They are found in Jesus Christ.
Notice
both of these dreaded experiences are something we go through, not stay in. If
the devil can get us to believe that it will always be like this, then he has
won. For we most certainly will ultimately give up and give in, if we think
there is no deliverance. But, thank God, the darkness passes and light shines
again! “Then the devil leaveth him, and,
behold, angels came and ministered unto him.”
The Bible says, “And it came to pass”; it does not say, “It came to stay”
