"For I am the Lord, your God,
who takes hold of your right hand
and says to you, Do not fear;
I will help you."
Isaiah 41:13
No one ever promised us an easy life. As a matter of fact, when Adam and Eve ate the fruit from the tree of knowledge, that sealed the deal. Death, sin, suffering were all introduced by that act.
But throughout the Bible, God gives us reason to work through our discouragements. In this particular passage from Isaiah, it is clear that God is speaking through Isaiah, telling us that we should not fear those things that discourage us. If we call upon Him, He is right there with us, hand in hand.
This makes me think of the famous poem by Mary Stevenson, Footprints in the Sand. The poem is so beautiful as it shows God's great love for us, His children. Take a moment, click on the link above, and just meditate on the wonderful thought of how God will carry us all through our times of trouble. Do not be discouraged in these times, but instead pray that God will lift you up and carry you across the sand.
God Bless your Wednesday.
