"You greatly rejoice, even though now for a little while, if necessary, you have been distressed by various trials, that the proof of your faith, being more precious than gold which is perishable, even though tested by fire, may be found to result in praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ." 1 Peter 1:6-7

"Fear not, for I am with you!"

I've been reading in Isaiah and am feeling renewed.

Isaiah 43: 13-19

Yes, and from ancient days I am he.
No one can deliver out of my hand.
When I act, who can reverse it?

This is what the LORD says-
your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel:
"For your sake I will send to Babylon and
bring down as fugitives all the Babylonians
in the ships in which they took pride.
I am the LORD, your Holy One, Israel's creator, your King."

This is what the LORD says-
he who made a way through the sea,
a path through the mighty waters,
who drew out the chariots and horses,
the army and reinforcements together,
and they lay there, never to rise again,
extinguished, snuffed out like a wick:

"Forget the former things;
do not dwell on the past.
See, I am doing a new thing!
Now it springs up; do you not perceive it?
I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland.


I know that God can make a way through this situation...He is FAITHFUL!
