Overwhelmed

When you pass through the waters, I am with you; when you pass through the streams, they will not overwhelm you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not harm you. (Isaiah 43:2 NET)

There are many times in our lives that we get overwhelmed, in over our head so to speak, through circumstances that have developed around us. When these situations happen, we need to remember that God is God, and He knows exactly what is going on, and for whatever reason He is allowing to happen what is happening. It is at these times where we need to trust Him and know that whatever is happening to us, we "will not get burned, the flames will not harm us." He is there protecting us, watching over us, and He sees the big picture. Sometimes we think we are smarter than He is and that He doesn't understand what we are going through. The truth is, He knows EXACTLY what we are going through, and though it may seem overwhelming at the time, like you don't think you can make it, the truth is you can by trusting Him. He is there protecting you and He is there seeing you through this. Remember, the streams WILL NOT overwhelm you, and the flames WILL NOT harm you. If you are going through something where you feel overwhelmed and in over your head, meditate on Isaiah 43:2, trust in His words and not your circumstances.
