PROCLAMATION
“So do no 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)
EXPLANATION
Here The Lord God
speaks to Israel through the prophet Isaiah and tells them that He will
strengthen them, help them, and protect them.
He reminds them, and all of the surrounding nations, that He cares for
them. (Isaiah 41:1-9) He encourages them
and tells them that He will protect them. (Isaiah 41:10-20) Then He presents Himself as the only one and
true God by showing what He has done which the idol gods cannot do. (Isaiah
41:21-29)
APPLICATION
The Lord God has done
for us things that no one or nothing else could ever do. From our creation in our mother’s womb and
our birth, (Psalm 139:13-16) to keeping us alive and safe though all of the
years of our life. He has protected us
from our enemies and provided for our needs, and He will continue to do so.
(Isaiah 41:10-14) This promise is not
just for Israel, it is for all believers.
This promise is not earned; all we have to do to receive it is believe.
