“For I am the Lord your God, who upholds your right hand, Who says to you, ‘Do not fear, I will help you.’” Isaiah 41:13 (NASB)
We find encouragement in this promise today. God is concerned about us and about what we face in our life. We considered His promises to uphold us with His righteous right hand in a previous verse (Isaiah 41:10) just three days ago. Today we see it is our right hand that God upholds. He assures us by declaring who He is. He is the Lord our God. There is no other. Each of us encounter difficult and frightening situations and we need help to press on, Our God, takes us by our hand and helps us along. Perhaps we have fallen or failed Him. His promise to uphold our right hand is a way of God telling us that He personally interferes on our behalf and will provide for us the strength we need to continue on. We often read about giving a person in need “a hand up.” When we give someone a hand up we are helping to restore their footing and strength. This is what God does for us all the time. He tells us to not fear because He promised to help and He is faithful. A hand up from God is what we all need every day and He is always there to uphold our right hand with His right hand as well.
