“For I the LORD thy God will hold thy right hand, saying unto thee, Fear not; I will help thee.” - Isaiah 41v13
This is something of a continuation of yesterday’s thought, but it is much more intimate and personal. Here God says that not only does He uphold us with the right hand of His righteousness, but He also will hold our hand and say to us, “Don’t be afraid, I will help you.”
Our little Morgann is only three. She is a very confident little lady and attacks life with a passion. Even Morgann though sometimes goes into an unknown and scary situation. At those times she instinctively reaches out her hand for a big person, preferably mum or dad, to take it. There is very little as comfortable to a child in an unfamiliar situation as holding their parent’s hand and having them say – “Don’t be afraid, I am here.”
Here we have some of the most precious words we can hope to here. As believers we can trust that our Abba, our daddy, is going to hold our hand and help us in those difficult and “scary” times. No matter how dark the future might be, no matter how scary it appears, our daddy is there to hold our hand and go with us.
Praise God for Daddy holding our hands!
