The Breakthrough!

The Breakthrough! 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.- Isaiah 43:2 Why? Because God is "with" you! Are you ready to pass "through" and share your story of how God allowed you to "pass or breakthrough" a situation that nearly ended your life/your joy? My friend, God is with you. Whisper, "God is with me." Now shout those same words. There is great solace in knowing that the Creator of the Universe is passing "through" the winds and the waves with you; that God is allowing us to pass "through" and live with the soot and ashes to prove that we've made it out and over. We are able to pass through the hardships, heartaches, job losses, seas of depression and disappointments unscathed. Thanks be to God for being the God of the Breakthrough! Often we find ourselves wondering if God is with us, near us, and or able to reach us. But beloved, Isaiah reminds us that God is our companion. God alone is the only Savior of humanity. God is able to reach for us and to protect us from perishing due to the "elements" of life. Be comforted and know that the God and Creator of the water and the fire is the only one who is able to bring you out of it whole. Incredible and Wonderful God, we praise you. Now leap into God's arms, my friend, and watch God work!
