Life brings both fire and flood—seasons of intense struggle and overwhelming storms. In those moments, it’s easy to feel alone, but the truth is, Jesus is right there with you. He never promised a life free from trials, but He did promise His presence, His strength, and His peace. When the heat rises and the waters rise, He is your anchor, your refuge, and your deliverer.
Isaiah 43:2 reminds us, “When you go through deep waters and great trouble, 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” (TLB). No matter what you face, God’s presence surrounds you. Never forget that great promise.
Hold onto faith. In the fire and the flood, Jesus stands beside you, leading you through to victory.

Action Point
