Isaiah 43:2 — “When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow you. When you walk through the fire, you shall not be burned, nor shall the flame scorch you.”
Life is full of bridges—uncertain crossings between where we are and where we need to be. Sometimes those bridges look like fear, failure, loss, or major transitions. But Scripture repeatedly affirms: God does not abandon His people at the edge. He meets them at the crossing. The God who parted the sea for Israel is the same God who walks with us through deep waters today.
Notice in Isaiah 43:2—God does not promise to remove the water, but to walk with us through it. His presence is not a promise of absence from trouble; it is a guarantee of deliverance within it. The Red Sea didn’t vanish, but it obeyed God’s command. The fire didn’t disappear for the three Hebrew boys, but it lost its power to harm them.
Faith is not the absence of fear—it is the refusal to stop at the edge of the bridge. You may not see how it will hold, but God builds a way where there was none. Whether it’s a sea, a river, or a fire—He never sends you alone. If He calls you to cross, He’ll help you get to the other side.
