Isaiah 41:10 (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.
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.
Fear saps our will power and leaves us feeling depleted and
hopeless. Yet very few of us have ever experienced a defeat so complete and
bitter as the one God's people faced when Isaiah shared this message of hope.
The preservation of Israel through their horrors to the time of Jesus, the
resurrection of Jesus from the dead when all appeared lost, the triumph of the
Church through centuries of persecution and opposition are all powerful
reminders that underneath us are the everlasting arms of a mighty and loving
God who will ultimately bring us to share in his eternal victory.
Thought for today:
Do I give in to fear?
