For I, the Lord your God, hold your right hand; it is I who say to you, “Fear not, I am the one who helps you.” -Isaiah 41:13 (ESV)
The past few weeks have been difficult and upsetting for us and for various reason. Having to limit our activity to our homes or having a job that has required us to be out where the danger of exposure to illness is significant. Stories abound about people who have been seriously affected. Some even have passed on due to this sickness. We would expect and not want to be told to not be afraid. But that is exactly what our LORD says to us. He is our God, perfect in every way and all powerful, all knowing, we can trust Him when He says to us “I am the one who helps you.” He holds us by our right hand which means God is immediately beside us. He knows all that we are experiencing. All the physical fears, all the emotional turmoil, all the financial challenges are known by Him. In verse 10 He has promised to strengthen, help and hold us up with His right hand. At our side, on our side, loving and caring for us, we can trust Him and give Him all our anxiety, all our cares. He will help us not be afraid.
