Do not fear, for I am with you; Do not anxiously look about you, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, surely I will help you. Surely I will uphold you with My righteous right hand (Isaiah 41:10). 5 reasons God tells us not to fear: 1. He is with us. “Do not fear for I am with you…” Ever present, all the time. In the deepest struggles and the darkest of times, we sometimes wonder if we are all alone. God reminds us we are not. Ever. 2. He is our God. “Do not anxiously look about you for I am your God…” He is our God who leads and protects us, he is the One we can run to for refuge. 3. He gives us strength. “I will strengthen you…” He equips us for this battle, he empowers us by his Spirit, and give us strength. 4. He helps us. “Surely, I will help you…” He doesn’t leave us on our own to figure things out. He is there to help us. Always. Sometimes we feel ambushed by surprise difficulties or things thrown our way. We can easily feel overwhelmed with it all. He reminds us, he will fight for us. 5. He holds us up with his hand. “Surely I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.” He holds us in his hand. He covers us in his hand. He keeps us safe. The right hand is important because its the hand that is relied upon in battle. Its the hand that is trusted. Its the hand that fights, the hand that holds the weapon, the hand that must be strong. Thats where he holds us. In his righteous right hand. Strong. Safe. Secure. Be assured, he is with you in whatever you face. In the turmoil and struggles, amidst the anxious thoughts and the worries of life. He is there, with you, strengthening, helping, and he holds you in his hands. God is greater. Than whatever you face. Over whatever happens in this world around us. He gives us the power to live courageously, boldly, fearlessly in this life, when many things that surround us would tell us to be afraid. His truth whispers strong and sure to the deepest core of our spirits. “Do not fear.” Peace.
