When Life Gets Hot!
"When you walk through the fire,
you shall not be burned, nor shall
the flame scorch you."
Isaiah 43: 2
One night last year, Shane McCrea, a retired
Marine, was driving down the North Carolina
highway when he saw a car on fire. So he
and
another passerby ran to the burning car and
saw a man inside, unconscious.
They struggled to get the man out, and then
gave him CPR. The man survived. One of the
rescuers said he is seldom out late at night,
but that evening, he said that it was God
who sent him there.
The Lord has a
million ways of getting us
through the fiery crashes of life. When the
three Hebrew boys were thrown into the
fiery furnace, the Fourth Man came and
walked among them.
God promises to be with us when we walk
through the fire. He is with us in whatever
circumstances we find ourselves: illness,
divorce, financial issues, joy, loss, and
so
on. He promises to be with us, and He
keeps the flames from harming us.
Offer God a prayer of thanksgiving that
we’re never alone—we can experience
the presence of God even when things
get hot.
"When through fiery trials thy
pathway shall lie, My
grace, all
sufficient, shall be thy supply."
