Deep Waters

God has so many promises for His children. When i’m in trouble, I tend to search for those promises that tell me everything will be okay. But sometimes everything isn't “okay”. There is pain and suffering and sorrow in this world, and we are not always shielded from these things, even though the Almighty God of the Universe is our Father. Only God can answer the question “Why?” And sometimes it seems He is strangely silent. It says in Isaiah 55:8 that we cannot understand God’s ways--He looks at everything from a higher perspective.I have had moments of great joy in my life, when I have seen God do amazing things. I have also had times when I wondered, “Where are you, God?” For those times there is a special promise:

“When you go through deep waters, I will be with you.” Isaiah 43:2
