Isaiah 41:10
So do not fear, for I am with you, do not be dismayed, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you and help you;
I will uphold you with My righteous right hand. Isaiah 41:10 (NIV)
Fear is a big problem for a lot of people.
If we aren’t careful, it can bind us up so tightly that we can’t do anything.
It will hinder us from doing even the most basic things.
We don’t have to live that way.
In this verse, God reminds us that we don’t have to be afraid.
He is with us.
He isn’t some distant being who sits far away and lets whatever might happen, happen.
He’s right here with us, up close.
Because He is with us, we can be encouraged and optimistic.
We don’t have to be afraid of anything.
