Do Not Fear // Isaiah 41:10

Isaiah 41:10 (NIV) | 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.

How have you found the verses this week that help us manage adversity? I pray they are helping you see hope from a new perspective early this year. Today’s verse is a perfect one for us to consider. It of course tells us that we are not to fear because God is with us. Thayt’s not all, though, because we see that God’s presence strengthens and helps! That’s pretty cool, isn’t it? I think about a time late last year when I had to go into an intimidating environment. My brother-in-law was with me. His presence alone helped me feel more confident and bolder since he’s a good bit bigger and stronger than I am. God wants us to know He is with us, and with that knowledge, we are in good hands. After all, who is bigger and stronger than our Lord Almighty? Yeah, that’s what I thought. So, do not fear whatever comes your way today. You are with God and He wants to be your focus. He will help you keep perspective, as well as good company so you’re never alone.
