My favorite 27 year old brother sent me a link to a song back in May and it was the song running through my head yesterday as I mourned the loss of my baby. Specifically the chorus. Guess what? The Lord thought I should be reminded of how incredible He is and had a new friend email me the story of her baby and some scriptures that ministered to her. One of those verses? The chorus to the song that had been running through my head all day.
I love being bombarded with the same Truth. Makes it hard to miss the point, well, most of the time. And I am encouraged by this verse because it *doesn't* say "you won't ever be faced with anything hard or bad or seemingly impossible". It does say "I will be with you, you will not be destroyed by what comes your way".

Isaiah 43:2
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.
thank you for telling me about this day. I am glad that I know. Love to you today as I remember Sammy!
ReplyDeleteThis is the verse I was led to this morning:
ReplyDeleteI remember my affliction and my wandering,
the bitterness and the gall. I well remember them, and my soul is downcast within me. Yet this I call to mind and therefore I have hope: Because of the LORD's great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail.
Lamentations 3 19-22
That didn't mean as much to me until I just read your verse... seems to have the same theme, huh? I guess now I'm being bombarded...thanks for sharing!
God is with you,
