Isaiah 41:10
Fear thou not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, yea, I will help you, yea, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.
Why is it that some verses remain with you all through your life? Some say they have a “LIFE VERSE.” I might not go that far, but this is one the first verses I memorized as a young boy in Camas, Washington. At that time I thought it was special because of what it PROMISED. Throughout my life I have found that it is true in PRACTICE!
As I have meditated and put this verse into practice across these many years, I have discovered that there are two actions that I am to take, two assurances that God gives, and three promises that follow.
This verse tells us that: We are not to fear nor be dismayed. Those are the two actions that we are to take. It may sound easy, but when the trials and tests of life arise, these become tasks that demand the assurances we find from the Lord: He is with us and He is our God.
As great as those assurances are, there is more. God adds His three precious promises: I will strengthen you, yea, I will help you, yea, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand. I challenge you to apply this verse to your life for the next 30 days. See what a difference you will discover awaiting you.
Blessings, Dear Hearts, draw near to God today, trust Him completely, and be a blessing!
