WHEN YOU PASS THROUGH THE WATERS, I WILL BE WITH YOU.  Isaiah 43:2

I received car wash coupons for Christmas and because I didn’t get around to using them, my wife decided to use them.  But I had to go with her the first time because she wasn’t sure what to do.  As I thought about her request, I concluded that it is a little scary if you don’t know how to go about it.  We went together. I gave the attendant the coupon, made sure the windows were rolled up, eased up to where I should go, put the car in neutral and my foot off the brake.  And the machine took over.  At the other end we had a very clean car.

Life can be like that.  We step into something and there are forces beyond our control taking over.  But as Isaiah records the word of our Lord “I WILL BE WITH YOU.”  When you pass through ‘the waters,’ When you go into the car wash of life,  When things happen, God goes with us.

And when you come out on the other side – you can say with joy and confidence ‘Our God is faithful!’  And He is!

My encouragement to you to day is to trust this God of ours.  He loves you.  He will see you through anything.  He will be with you.

Blessings on your day, 

IN THE BEGINNING GOD CREATED THE HEAVENS AND THE EARTH. NOW THE EARTH WAS FORMLESS AND EMPTY…    Genesis 1:1-2

I find the ‘predictableness’ of the universe amazing.  Weathermen cannot and do not predict the weather with 100% accuracy.  All kinds of pollsters cannot because they are not able to predict the outcomes of so many things.  And doctors cannot and thus do not predict the outcome of medical procedures or the effects of medicines.

BUT in one area scientist can and do.  For example: astronomers have predicted that Halley’s Comet will return on July 28, 2061.  Or they can tell us when the next solar eclipse will be.

God has designed the universe that way.  He brought order out of chaos.

So when we launch a space shuttle we can predict that if we aim it to be at this particular spot at this particular time it will meet the space lab there.

Because of that we can predict where we will spend eternity.  Jesus said “Whoever believes in me will have eternal life…”  Thus whoever does NOT believe in Him will NOT.  There’s no guesswork with that.  Thus if we want to spend eternity in heaven we need to put our trust in the Lord Jesus Christ.  It’s that simple.  I pray that you do.

Blessings on your day,
