Strength


"So do not fear, for I am with you; 
do not be dismayed, for I am your God.  
I will strengthen you and help you; 
I will uphold you with my righteous right hand."  
Isaiah 41:10

This passage has been constantly in my mind for the last few days.  It is one of the beautiful promises in scripture I can run to and feel like my Heavenly Father is wrapping his arms around me and assuring me that everything will be okay each time I read it.  Hal and I have been praying through a situation that didn't turn out quite like we thought it would.  In a time when we are tempted to doubt the Lord's plan and be frustrated with His timing, this scripture reminds me not to go there.  After all, isn't that what fear is ... doubting the promises and faithfulness of God?

    Thanks for this. I have been dealing a lot with fear recently, and this scripture was just what I needed this morning. He is amazingly faithful!

    I have been praying for you ... I ran across your blog from your Twitter profile. Glad this verse encouraged you as much as it did me!
