Isaiah 41:10
“Fear not, for I am with you; Be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, Yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.”
One of the first passages of Scripture I memorized many years ago was this one from Isaiah 41. I am not sure at what point in my life I began to apply the truth of this precious promise to the way I lived. I must confess that there have been times when I failed to apply this truth, but I always seem to be drawn back to it.
There are two things we are warned to remove from our life: FEAR and DISMAY. You may question how we are to get rid of these to “joy robbers” from our life. The answer is given loud and clear: God assures us that He is our God and our strength comes from Him.
He assures us that He is OUR God. That is the personal assurance. He also promises that He will; (1) STRENGTHEN US. (2) HELP US. (3) UPHOLD US WITH HIS RIGHTEOUS RIGHT HAND.
I urge each of us to trust in God’s precious promise to always be there at all times and for every need. We may forsake Him, but He never forsakes us!
Blessings dear hearts. Draw near to God today, trust Him completely and be a blessing!
