“Do not fear, for I am with you; Do not anxiously look about you, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, surely I will help you, Surely I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.” Isaiah 41:10 (NASB)
It was through the Prophet Isaiah that God sent this promise to His people. In the midst of warnings about what God was going to do to the unbelieving nations around Israel, he sends this encouragement that they did not need to fear or be anxious. God would not be bringing the same judgment on His people. This is a good promise for us to take hold of too. When circumstances in our world and life become increasingly upsetting and disruptive we can cling to this promise that God is our God. We do not need to be afraid of what is happening around us. We do not need to be looking over our shoulder worrying about what might happen to us. God promises strength when and where we need it. He promises to help us with full assurance. In fact His promise is that He will be the One that holds us up and keeps us from falling. We are helped by God's righteous right hand.
