Isaiah 41.10 - A Great Promise
A. This is one of the greatest promises of God in the Bible.
'Fear not, 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.'
Comments:
1. Fear and faith are contradictory. If you fear, you have no faith. Fear is a powerful weapon of Satan. God says, Fear not. Why? Because God is with us; He is our Immanuel God. He will never leave us, nor forsake us. He is with us, as He was with Joseph in Egypt, and Israel in the wilderness. Lo, I am with you always, Jesus tells His disciples. Always.
2. Don't be anxious. Don't look here and there. Don't look at the circumstances. Look unto Me. Looking unto Jesus. 'They looked unto Him and were radiant, and their faces were not ashamed.' [Ps 34]. Keep your eyes on the Lord.
3. I am your God. He is my God. The Lord Jesus is my Saviour. He is mine, and I am His. He is God, God Almighty, the El Shaddai God, the all-powerful God, the Omnipotent God who reigns forever.
4. I will strengthen you. He will strengthen your heart, Ps 27. Your heart will be established by His grace, Heb 13. His grace is abundant; His grace is sufficient. When we come to the throne of grace, we will obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need, Heb 4.16. God will never fail.
5. He will uphold us, or hold us up. There is no fear of falling. Underneath are the everlasting arms, Deut 33. Nobody can snatch us out of His hands, John 10.28,29.
6. The right hand of His righteousness. He means what He says. God is true and righteous. He is a faithful God. He is the everlasting Rock. The eternal God is our refuge. He will surely perform what He has promised.
7. Oh, that we would keep trusting in Him at all times! That we would keep 'looking unto Him'. That we would keep praising Him for this great promise.
8. This promise will never fail. Haven't you noticed? God is saying, 'Surely', 'surely'! This is more than a promise, it is an assurance. Thank you, Lord Jesus. Amen.
