Spoken to Israel at the time of Assyria’s dominance, but just as surely to us who are his people today, God makes a promise to be with us through difficult times. He says, “But now, O Jacob, listen to the Lord who created you. O Israel, the one who formed you says, “Do not be afraid, for I have ransomed you. I have called you by name; you are mine. When you go through deep waters, I will be with you. When you go through rivers of difficulty, you will not drown. When you walk through the fire of oppression, you will not be burned up; the flames will not consume you. For I am the Lord , your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior…” Isaiah 43:1
