I WILL
I had yesterday off instead of today and quess what, I scaled Slieve Donard. First time for me and it felt fantastic, I took a topple on the way down and have the scars to prove it. I felt like I was on the top of the world, I phoned my four kids to tell them I wss praying for them at the highest point of the Mournes. My son said "dad can't you go anywhere without praying".
I was enjoying Isaiah 43, listen to verse 2, "When you go through deep waters, I will be with you. When you go through rivers of difficulty, you will not drown. When you walk through the fire of oppression, you will not be burned up. Notice 3 times the word through, again I was reminded that God dosn't always bring us around trouble but through it. He says, "I WILL be with you". A good study for you sometime is to look for all the I WILL's of God in scripture, those are the promises that when the deep waters, rivers of difficulty or fire of oppression comes you can hold on to them because it might be all that you have. Everyday in the past 72 I have sometimes 3 or 4 times a day reminded God of His promise's.
As I read Isaiah 43 I got a txt from a good friend saying "Praying for you and reading Isaiah 43, think its for you". Is that God or what, He leaves nothing to chance, He's a God of the I WILL.
