THE LORD WILL HELP YOU! Click and read more.

 

For I the Lord will hold thy right hand, saying unto thee, fear not; I will help thee. Fear not, thou worm Jacob, and ye men of Israel; I will help thee, saith the Lord, and thy Redeemer, the holy One of Israel. (Isaiah 41:13-14)

How would you feel if you got a phone call from the organization of your dreams and it is the MD himself calling you to congratulate you and assure you that you have his support on the job? First you would be speechless, then you’d be excited and finally you’d be confident. Well, that is exactly the scenario in the verses we will cruise through.

The Lord Almighty begins the verse with an emphasis on His modus operandi. “For I the Lord will hold thy right hand”. I suddenly have a picture of the experience of holding my sons while we walk the road to church. We will always be the Lord’s children and as His children He takes our matter personal. Like your child clings closely to you as you hold him or her on the way and trusts you enough that no harm will come near, so also the Lord wants us to do same. God says, “Fear not”.

“Fear not”. The Lord himself says you should make a conscious effort to instruct the inner you to adopt a fearless state. You may say that it is not easy but the One instructing you is your Maker – the same One that says you are made in His image and created after His likeness. He is well aware of the deposits and the nature has imputed upon us. 

Notice He says we should not fear. It is an instruction. It is an assignment that only you can consciously carry out. Nobody will do it on your behalf. If you don’t work on handling your inner fears over time, it creeps out at unexpected times and sometimes can embarrass you.   

“I will help thee”. This declaration appears twice and in succession. Remember repetition is a matter of emphasis. The Lord knows our frailties as we go through life. 

“Fear not, thou worm Jacob, and ye men of Israel”. A worm does not have a skeletal structure that enables it have structure nor does it have capacity to leave the ground. Wow! It shows that our structure is dependent on the Lord. The fact that the worm lacks capacity to leave the ground typifies our limitation in our human endeavors. Remember except the Lord builds a house, the builders build in vain.

 
“I the Lord will hold thy right hand”. Our right hand is our hand of strength. It is the hand used for accomplishment. The Lord knows you will need Him to get to the desired destination. He has decided to hold you and I by the right hand, your right hand speaks of guidance. 

Get excited people! Jump if you can! Shout Hallelujah! 

We have A SPECIAL HEAVENLY ESCORT AS WE GO THROUGH LIFE! He is our Redeemer (the One that restores what was lost) and the Holy One of Israel (He does not compromise His standard in order to achieve His ultimate desire for us all). 
I feel privileged to have Him as my Father. So no matter what my eyes see now I will go through knowing who holds my right hand.
