Yet He saved them

for His name's sake,

that He might make known

            His mighty power.

He rebuked the Red Sea,

and it became dry,

and He led them

    through the deep

    as though a desert.

So He saved them

     from the hand of the foe,

and delivered them

from the power of the enemy.

                    Psalm 106. 8-10

(God leads us through

  our own deep scary places

           by His powerful hand

       and in unexpected ways

that we would know Him more.

It is not that God will be

         on the other side of this,

but He is right there with us,

             bringing us through.

God never said that life will be easy,

   but He promises,

            "I am with you.")
