Isaiah 41:10-11 (NIV)
10 So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be
dismayed, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.
I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.
11 “All who rage against you will surely be
ashamed and disgraced;
those who oppose you will be as nothing and perish.
those who oppose you will be as nothing and perish.
Not only does God's blessing rest on us, his presence goes
with us. We cannot ever be in a place where he is not with us (see Psalm
139). His presence and power will uphold us and strengthen us. No matter what
may happen in our physical bodies or our physical worlds, God has given us the
ultimate triumph over every enemy and all wickedness in Jesus. Even Jesus'
doubters and enemies will worship our Lord and kneel at his feet and will
recognize that our faith is not only appropriate, but it is victorious (cf. 1
Thess. 1).
Thought for today:
Do I honor God’s presence?
