Topic:Through The Fire
Text: Isaiah 43:2-6

God is everywhere. This assures me of safety, anytime, anywhere. It is for this that the Bible in Psalms 46:1 that: “God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.” Anytime you find yourself in trouble, as a child of God, you will find God by your side. He will answer you anytime you need Him. You don’t have to doubt this at all. The fact that God is everywhere is however likely to make some people uncomfortable, especially those who wish to continue to live in sin. They would want God to take His eyes off them once in a while. But if he takes His eyes of you, the lion will get you. God is the ever-present help in the time of trouble. Of course, there are times when we think that God is slow and we wonder why He does not seem to be acting as quickly as we would want Him to.

God is never slow or late; He is always on time. God is everywhere all the time, whereas the devil can be only in one place at a time. Because God is with us every time, that is why he says in Isaiah 43:2 that He will be with us when we pass through the river and through the fire. On those occasions when we must pass through fire, God will be with us so that it will not burn us. He will also keep neutralizing the bullets of the enemies, according to Isaiah 54:17 that says: “No weapon fashioned against us shall prosper.

He is aware that some people will constantly be fashioning out new weapon to try against us. But if they try them against God’s own people, they will not work because God will be by the side of His people. The enemies may gather themselves together but God will scatter them. God is for us; not one can be against us. He is our shield and buckler. In fact, He is our strong tower. Just as mountain surround Jerusalem; our God surrounds us with impenetrable walls of fire. Therefore, we are untouchable.
