10 Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.
Isaiah 41:10
The little girl in the cartoon stood, her little hand clutching the hand of her favourite rag doll, it swung inanimately beside her as she positioned herself in front of the fierce bullies out for blood.
She stood, shoulders squared, chin up, index finger pointing at them with a mean look on her face, she meant business as she told them off.
She hadn’t noticed the large superhero standing behind her, but the bullies sure had. They began to quake in their boots and shake with fear, they’re reaction made her all the more confident in her conviction.
As she put her hands on her hips and stamped her foot the superhero flexed his muscles, and the bullies ran for their life. The little girl stood triumphantly as she saw the bullies run for the hills.
When a person is backed by God pictures of this nature may come to mind. In this scripture, God is reassuring His people that we shouldn’t be afraid, even though the thing that we are facing is great. He is God! And He is greater!
God will give us strength and He will help us to make it through whatever we face and also the greatest part of this promise, is that God will uphold us with His right hand of righteousness.
Biblically, the right hand signifies strength, and not only that, the right hand of God also signifies victories, wars won, outward works of His power.
God is connecting His previous triumphs with our moment of need. He is giving us the memories of His victories to draw from, if He has done it before He will do it again! 😊🙏🏾🙌🏾💕 #devotionals #GodIsInControl #simplymichmich Share on XGod is connecting His previous triumphs with our moment of need.
