Isaiah 41:10 – A Closer Look

Isaiah 41:10 reads as follows: “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 right hand.”
- Fear Not – He only says this because He knows I will be filled with fear.
- For I am with you – He understands my frame – that I don’t want to be alone, that when He is with me, I feel less afraid, and I can go a little further.
- Be not dismayed – The definition of dismayed is “to be filled with dread or apprehension, to be anxious or afraid, to lose confidence or courage in the face of trouble or danger.” That pretty well describes me. I am am confident and courageous until the trouble comes.
- For I am your God – When I fully grasp the meaning and implication of this concept – the God of creation, the Almighty God, the One who parted the Red Sea and held back the flooded Jordon, the One who raised Jesus from the dead – He says of me, “I am your God.” What more could I need?
- I will strengthen you – He knows I am left weak from the fear.
- Yes, I will help you – He is reassuring me. He alone is my help and my deliverer.
- I will uphold you with my righteous right hand – In the end, I will stand because He is holding me up. It is His justice, His righteousness that will allow me to stay the course.
Beloved, do not be afraid. Our God will supply all your needs through Christ Jesus. He is with you. He will never leave or forsake you.
