Isaiah 41:10

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


I believe that something that all people who have placed their faith in Christ have been found guilty of at least in their lives, is the underestimating of God and the extent of his character.

This text obviously promises us aid from our Heavenly Father, and an upholding of our souls that we cannot maintain ourselves. But how often do we fall back into doubting that he will deliver us, but rather let us fall? That may indeed be God's ordained plan for you that you fall, so that you can be raised up again stronger, but there remains a crucial truth here that has helped me immensely in my walk.

God, the Lord God Almighty, the Creator of the heavens and the earth. This, omnipotent, omniscient, omnipresent, holy, righteous, self-sufficient, PERFECT being, promises to help me?! He has already given His own Son that we might enter into relationship with Him, but now he promises more?

Charles Haddon Spurgeon puts it much better than I. Please read, let it sink in and then worship the Lord.

"I will help you"
