I thank the Lord for His promises but to be honest, I don’t always live like I believe them. Maybe other saints feel the same at times, especially when life leads us to a place of fear.
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.
This powerful “Fear Thou Not” promise is a jewel. No matter how we feel, God Himself promises to be with us. That's personal.
We used to sing a song entitled “Standing Somewhere In The Shadows You’ll Find Jesus”. “He Was There All The Time” is another precious song. Actually, I have never walked alone.
The next time you find yourself in the tunnel of despair, read Isaiah 40:10 and know for sure that God will strengthen you, help you, and uphold you – not in your strength – but with His right hand of righteousness, and that is wonder-working power.
Believe it. Then you can sing “Through It All, I learned to trust in Jesus”.
