Isaiah 41:13 For I the Lord thy God will hold thy right hand, saying unto thee, Fear not, I will help thee.
Oh Friends, please praise His Holy Name, for He’s such a magnanimous and caring God! What other being that humans worship, says those encouraging things eh, or makes those wonderful promises? None! Friends, if you didn’t know before, then know it now; the Lord’s promises are like money in the bank, that neither inflation, deflation or any man made scheme can devalue. And I like how He makes His pronouncements; not boastful or proud, but with just the right tone of authority, and the right amount of self-confidence. He doesn’t come across as being arrogant and self-centred, that’s because He can do anything and everything, so He’s got nothing to prove. ‘For I the Lord thy God will hold thy right hand…’ Wow! That alone; just His holding my hand instils a whole lotta confidence in this mortal soul. Shows me that He’s a ‘people God.’ Yuh know, like how we describe humans who take particular joy in dealing with others, as ‘people persons,’ the same way our God is a ‘people God!’ He delights in dealing with us, looking after our many problems and troubles, despite the unworthy, disobedient children that we are. And having taken our hand, He will say unto us, ‘Fear not…’ Mama Mia! (smile) Didn’t want to say wow again. Yes Friends, just the sound of that strong, confident voice, and the strength that’s flowing into my arm, and running like electricity through my entire body, from His gentle but firm grasp, immediately drives away any fears I have. His pleasant and caring demeanour and His calm, forthright manner instil a certain assurance that mere words cannot describe. And when He says, ‘I will help thee…’ Hallelujah! Then my body and soul, already filled with pleasant tension and excitement from being in such close proximity to Him, then…then my entire being automatically releases those pent up emotions, just bursts forth in songs of thanks and praise, for then, I’m certain that everything will be right in my world. And even if the enemy comes a panting after me, the Lord, my God, who has a firm grip of my right hand, will protect me. He will chase away the evil enemy, so that he cannot prevail over my sinful, mortal flesh. Yes Friends, that’s the kind of relationship we need to have with our God. Otherwise it’s all a waste of time. Him offering all that strength, confidence, guidance and help, and we either refusing it, or not making full use of it. That’s the purpose of a God, people! To have someone, higher, brighter, stronger and better than us, to whom we can turn in times of trouble and need. And our God is the One and Only True God there is. The One who made the universe and all therein, including us. As Isaiah says of the other so-called gods: ‘Behold, they are all vanity; their works are nothing; their molten images are wind and confusion.’ (Isa.41:29) Yes people, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, whom we worship, is the One,True God. So if we don’t have a right relationship with Him, let’s get one today, right now. And if we already have one, let’s make sure that we keep it, keep it solid and strong. They say we are the most intelligent beings He made, well let’s prove it, let’s allow Him to take our right hand and say, ‘Fear not, I will help thee.’ Friends, that’s the only way to live a successful life. Much LOVE!…from the heart friends…from the heart…that’s where it all begins…and ends…
