The promises of God are very precious,they encourage us,and comfort us,there is a promise in the book of Isaiah that has been a blessing to God's people throughout the ages,it is in chap 41 v 10,it reads.
' Fear thou not; for I am with you;
Be not dismayed,for I am your God.
I will strengthen you,
Yes I will help you,
I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.'
Israel was a small nation, but they had one vital thing in their favour. they had a big God,they would be preserved not by their military might, but by their God.Often they forgot that and suffered for their folly,but in spite of this God was faithful,and when during the reign of Hezekiah the Assyrian super power came against them,right to the gates of Jerusalem,boasting what they would do to those within the city,God miraculously delivered them. CP chap 37 v36 -38. Many dear Christians live in places of great danger,threatened by political ,and religious powers,could it be, it is like that where you live?.These words are for all of Gods children,who feel threatened and overwhelmed by so many things. The words given to ancient Israel are for you and me today, God is with us do not be dismayed He is our God,He will strengthen us,He will help us,and uphold us.
'He will not fail us'
