“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)
In the forty-first chapter of Isaiah we find many reassuring and encouraging promises from God. Today's verse records words spoken by God through His prophet to His people at that time, and we believe that He is still closely involved with us who are His people today. These words of promise are also for us. When we put our faith in God and in His Son Jesus Christ, we can recognize that He is our loving Father. Our promise today says that the Lord will take hold of our right hand. This expression shows is an illustration of how close and how personal our relationship is with God. God also promises to help. What a tremendous promise when He declares "I will help you." We do not have to fear. We do not have to allow anxiety and upsetting circumstances to disrupt our lives with God because whatever we need, God will help us through it while holding our right hand. God is close to us and we are close to Him when we trust these promises. Let's do that.
