I'm Right Here

I’m Right Here
“For I the LORD thy God will hold thy right hand, saying unto thee, Fear not; I will help thee.”
‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭41‬:‭13

What a promise! If you know anything about the book of Isaiah, you know that it holds prophecy of the promise of Christ, Israel’s Messiah...our Messiah! This promise comes in the midst of tribulation and chastisement. This comes because of a simple fact of a human characteristic that we know as fear. Fear comes in many shapes, sizes, and situations. We like to to dress it in different nomenclatures like concern, wonder, doubt, or worry. We might be in a trial that we did not choose, design, or deserve, so we want to say, “I just can’t help but ‘wonder’ what God is doing?” (that happens to be my go to). Or we could be in the middle of chastisement and “worry” that God is done with us. Maybe we have gone too far in our own way or design and we “doubt” God can get us out of it. I must say all these situations can fill one with great “concern”. No matter the dress you put on it, fear is the absence of faith.

Here in our passage today, if you read anymore of the chapter you see The Lord God Almighty reminding Israel just who He is. He gives His pedigree. He gives His “resume” if you will so that they might remember just who it is they are supposed to be trusting in. This verse is God simply saying, “My child, I know right where you are, I know the reason you are there. Nothing has changed, I still love you and want to take you to a better time and place. Just take my hand, and trust me! I Am right here.”

Do you know what keeps us from grabbing the hand of a Supremely Divine Holy Just Being that loves us more than we will ever know in this flesh? Yep, you guessed it, fear.
Fear that tells us that He cannot do what He has said He would do. Do you know how to battle that fear? Read His Resume and see if He doesn’t replace that fear with some faith!
