DO NOT GO THERE!
Isaiah 41:10 – Devotional
Isaiah 41:10
“Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.”
As a young boy I was challenged to memorize this verse in Isaiah 41:10. I will never apologize for using it too often. It is a truth that should be a part of the life of every true believer in the Lord Jesus Christ as our personal Savior.
The first truth we are given is to be brave in the Lord. It is not that we are so strong and powerful that our enemies will flee from us, but it is that we serve a God who created all things and possesses the power over all things.
Does that mean that we will be exempted from all of the evil that surrounds us? Absolutely not! We are told that the rain falls on the just as well as on the unjust. That means we will all pass through the valley of the shadow of death as David explains in Psalm 23.
The confidence that the Lord wants each believer to rest upon is that we are never alone in the tribulations of this life. He is always is with us to lead, guide and direct us to be used as He sees fit. Trust in the Lord with all your heart. Stay away from the dismal abode of fear. Do not go there!
Blessings dear hearts walk with God today and become a blessing!
