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.
Isaiah 41:10 KJV
Fear not, declares Isaiah. He was writing to people facing exile, loss of control, and national humiliation, with a very real fear of being abandoned by God.
This verse speaks to a people shaken, with every reason to be afraid. The fear is rooted in circumstance, and in imaginations running wild with a future without the King of Kings and the Lord of Hosts present in their lives.
Scripture declares that God’s presence is not emotional; it is functional, and an ever-present help in a time of need.
God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.
Psalm 46:1 KJV
Through Isaiah and the Psalms, we see that fear causes a slow inward unravelling, panic erupts quickly, and dismay paralyses. God addresses all three with the words, “For I am thy God.”
When you pray, God does not help you because you are strong. He lifts you into His courts because you place your trust in Him.
May I encourage you to take refuge in God.
Blessings,
