📖“God Is With Us in the Flood”
Isaiah 43:2 | Psalm 9:9 | Psalm 107:29
📚 Opening Reflection:
This week, we're literally experiencing relentless storms and flooding. Many are affected, anxious, and unsure of what might happen next. Yet in the midst of chaos, God's Word reminds us of a powerful truth: We are not alone.
📖 Key Scriptures:
-
Isaiah 43:2 (NIV)
“When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you.”
➤ Reflection Question: When was the last time you truly felt God’s presence during a difficult moment? How did He show up? -
Psalm 9:9 (NIV)
“The Lord is a refuge for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble.”
➤ Reflection Question: What does “refuge” mean to you personally? How do you find safety in God during storms? -
Psalm 107:29 (NIV)
“He stilled the storm to a whisper; the waves of the sea were hushed.”
➤ Reflection Question: Do you believe God can calm the storm you're going through right now—literally or spiritually?
🌊 Devotional Thought:
The physical storms and floods we face are a vivid picture of the spiritual storms in life. But through it all, God says: “I will be with you.”
God never promised a life free from storms—but He promises His presence through them. His peace doesn’t depend on perfect conditions—it comes from knowing He holds us even when the waters rise.
🙏 Prayer:
Lord God,
You see the storms we’re facing—both in the world around us and within our hearts. The rain hasn’t stopped, the waters are rising, and we are weary. But today, we choose to trust You.
Be our refuge. Quiet the storm inside us. Protect our families, homes, and communities. Help us to remember that You are near, faithful, and in control.
Thank You that even in the darkest moments, Your love never fails.
In Jesus' name,
Amen.
