The Waters Will Not Overflow You

Life can feel like deep waters—uncertain, fast-moving, and at times overwhelming. But when your life is anchored in Christ, those waters will never overflow you. He walks with you through every current and storm. His presence becomes your life raft, your rescue, and your peace in the flood.

Isaiah 43:2 says, “When you pass through the waters, I will be with you and the rivers will not overwhelm you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be scorched and the flame will not burn you” (CSB). The promise isn’t that we’ll avoid deep waters, but that God will be with us in the midst of them. His power sustains, His love holds, and His Word assures.

Trust God with any fear of circumstance you may have, let Him help you. So today, walk with confidence. The waters may rise, but with Christ, you’ll never be overcome.

Quote
