Lent, Day 12 / Be Known (3)

From Isaiah 43 (NIV)

Dedicated to all those facing flooding of every kind.

Our plights, struggles, limitations, and terrors are known to God. Just as He knows when or how He will provide what we need in the midst of them.

We may be understandably inclined to believe that God’s blessing and His delight in us are only connected to and dependent upon our happy-meters, when they are registering “supreme satisfaction and comfort.”

But perhaps the opposite is more accurate.

Does this mean God delights in the misery of our suffering? No. It means He finds us delight-worthy in every season and every circumstance. And He delights in giving us strength, comfort, healing, and unexplainable peace as He keeps His promises.

He has promised to stay with us. And no ferocious river current can sweep Him – or that promise – away.

Hear the promises in song 💙
