When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee (Isaiah 43:2)
When we experience drowning, crushing, trying power of a trial we need to admit that it is part of life. We may have to face illness, pain or loss in life. There is a wonderful promise in this verse and there is the reality of suffering: when you pass through the waters, when you walk through the fire. The reality is God's children are not exempted from trials. The promise is that He will be with us, trials will not overcome us and we will not be harmed.
No matter what obstacle we face "Fear not," God says in verse 1, "because I have redeemed you, I have called you by your name, you are mine". He will not let anything harm us. Nothing will overwhelm us, no sorrow will destroy us.
