Scripture:
“Don’t be afraid, for I am with you. Don’t be discouraged, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you. I will hold you up with my victorious right hand.” Isaiah 41:10 NLT
Observation:
The Lord speaks in this passage to Israel, but also to us as New Testament believers. He tells us not to be afraid because He is with us. He tells us not to be discouraged because He is our God. We are then promised that He will strengthen and help us, that He would hold us up with His victorious right hand. This is a powerful promise in Scripture.
Application:
When we know God is with us and that He never fails and never loses a battle, our courage and confidence increases. We have no reason to be discouraged when we know God is with us. Our strength comes from Him. Our victory comes from Him. Everything we need for life and success is found in Him. We must first put our trust in Him and second, we must be confident that He is with us. Then we will never be afraid or discouraged. His presence fixes everything.
Prayer:
Father, I worship You. You are worthy of my praise. You are are my hope and my help. You are my strength and my confidence. You are everything to me. Teach me to walk in Your ways. Teach me to walk in confidence, knowing that You are with me. Help me to finish everything You give me to do. Help me not to be discouraged when things are not going the way I want them to go.
Yours Forever,
Jeff
