Fear Not—God Upholds You In Life

Fear Not—God Upholds You In Life | Devotional

For I, the Lord, your God, will hold your right hand, saying to you, “Fear not, I will help you.”
Isaiah 41:13

Satan is always trying to weaken our faith by fear; and fear is born of Satan, the great architect of fear. He is a great enemy of faith and knows the paralyzing effect of fear.

Fear crystalizes thoughts, and Satan uses it as a catalyst to diminish faith in God. If he can get us to be fearful, he will stop our trust in God and hinder the very blessing we need which comes from faith and obedience to God.

A child held in the hands of his parents need not be afraid of anything. Life crashes in, and we wish we could be children again and have someone to take care of us and protect us.

In our confused and chaotic world, God reaches out and takes hold of our hands and comforts us with His precious words: “Fear not, for I am with you, be not dismayed, for I am your God.

I will strengthen you, yes, I will help you. I will uphold you with My righteous hand” (Isaiah 41:10).

God’s promise comes to us once again. Even when He seems distant, the echo of this thought can remind us that we are never alone or forgotten.

The lord holds the right hand of His people, teaching them to walk with faith, leading them into His presence and keeping them from falling.

The lord is present with us, and whenever we are attacked by the enemy, let us learn to look up to Him. If we waver and look hither and thither or to this place and that, we shall never enjoy peace of mind.

Fear not, echo strongly to His children for His help is never-ending. He takes hold of our right hand, and says to us ‘fear not.’

It is of great importance to believe in God. He loves us and assures us of His eternal favour. We need to have composure of mind and to conquer the vexations which come upon us from various fronts of life intended to suppress our faith in God.

In our moments of solitude, we must pay close attention to His voice, so as never to withdraw our mind from Him who always calms our fears with His word, “Fear not, I will help you,” for they who refuse to hear the voice of God are miserably tormented by continual doubt, uncertainty, and confusion.

lord, our Faithful God is more than a faithful friend. “… a friend who sticks closer than a brother” (Proverbs 18:24). It should clearly ring to all going through stormy and unexplainable circumstances in life to hear what the Word of God says to you: “Fear not, I [lord] will help you.”

He is not a mortal man to renege on His promises. “For all the promises of God in Him are Yes and in Him. Amen” (2 Corinthians 1:20).

We need not to fear any enemy—assurance to all believers who have the strong affection in God; He will strengthen their right hand in order to uphold from falling.

Today and every day, let us remember His word: “God is not a man, that He should lie, nor a son of man, that He should repent. Has He said, and will He not do?

Or has He spoken, and will He not make it good?” (Numbers 23:19) Are you on the verge of tilting to any deteriorating situation today? His Word says, “Fear not, I will help you.”

What is happening in your life now unknown by your closest pals, relations, or associates, He is aware and knows of it all and says to you, “Fear not, I will help you.”

Beloved, you belong to Him, and you are in Him, therefore, let us pursue our life endeavors and purposes with fearlessness, for He says today to you, “Fear not, I will help you.” He is truthful to His Word. Amen.
