Isaiah 43:2 “When you walk through the fire, you shall not be burned; neithershall the flame kindle upon you. For I am the Lord thy God.”
When life brings us expected situations, it is wise to quote God’s Word. His plans are always for good, but Jesus warned that the enemy’s plans are to “steal, kill, and destroy” John 10:10.
Recently, God gave me a vivid picture of this spiritual TRUTH. When we walk through life’s hard places, Jesus provides us with protection of HIS WORD. He covers us with the FIREPROOF PROTECTION OF HIMSELF!
A Forest Fire Documentary depicted how Firefighters can protect themselves by wrapping-up inside a huge asbestos blanket and lying on the ground until the raging fire has passed over them. When we go through fiery trials, it is wise to recall God’s Promises to us in past problems. Be aware of His Words to us recently in Scriptures and songs. As we speak them, God protects our minds from thoughts of fear, anxiety, and depression. Our spirit is “wrapped-up” in JESUS…THE WORD!
