He is With Me

Now this is what the Lord says — the One who created you, Jacob, and the One who formed you, Israel — “Do not fear, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by your name; you are Mine. I will be with you when you pass through the waters, and when you pass through the rivers, they will not overwhelm you. You will not be scorched when you walk through the fire, and the flame will not burn you.
Isaiah 43:1‭-‬2 HCSB

Note: God does not promise to deliver you out of trials and trouble, but to be with you in trials and trouble, so much so that although you go through disaster, it will not destroy you.

The child in us wants protecting, the gift, the sleep-in. However it is not always to be. We may attempt to pamper and spoil our children but He does not. He prunes and waters, fertilized and stakes us. We are meant to produce fruit that others can eat; fruits of righteousness. Amen!

Where is your vineyard? Where has God planted you? Be what He has made you in the place He has planted you and flourish! Amen!
