HELP IS HERE
“For I the LORD thy God will hold thy right hand, saying unto thee, Fear not; I will help thee”- Isaiah 41:13
I’m amazed at the way God works. I read several devotions nearly everyday, written by different writers at different times. But I’ve noticed a strange thing the last few days. Over and over again I’ve seen references to Isa. 41: 10 and 13. These were written by different writers, at different times in history, and under different circumstances, yet all dealing with the fact that we need God’s help. I can take a hint, so today I’m going to share on written in 1840 by James Smith. I hope it helps you! Here it is —
Wherever the Lord leads us, He will support us; nor shall the difficulties of the way, or the weakness we feel, be too much for us. His hand is stretched out to us, and it is for faith to lay hold of it and proceed, confident of assistance.
The arm of His power is the protection of His people in danger, and the strength of His people in weakness. He is a very present help in trouble. A God at hand. Are you weak, or in difficulty?
Plead His word; it is plain, positive, and sure. He cannot lie.
He will not deceive. His strength is made perfect, and is glorified in your weakness. Fear not, underneath are everlasting arms. He will strengthen you with strength in your soul.
He CAN help, for He is omnipotent. He WILL help, for He has given you His word. Trust in the Lord at all times; yea, trust in the Lord for ever, for in the Lord Jehovah is everlasting strength. That strength is promised to you, and will be employed for you in answer to prayer.
Why then are you so fearful? Why cast down? He says, “I WILL HELP THEE.” “He hath said, and shall He not do it? He hath spoken, and shall He not make it good?”
Fear not; I am with thee; O be not dismay’d!
I, I am thy God, and will still give thee aid!
I’ll strengthen thee, help thee, and cause thee to stand,
Upheld by My righteous, omnipotent hand.
