Fear 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.’ (Isaiah
41:10) We have reasons
to fear. If not, why are we told, “Don’t
be afraid!” so many times in Scripture.
The numbers of people against us are overwhelming. The world system is energized by our greatest
enemy, the devil himself. False teachers
“speak great swelling words of emptiness, they allure through the lusts of the
flesh, the ones who have actually escaped from those who live in error” (2
Peter 4.18). Our own flesh-nature is a
great enemy. Who can stand? Those who find strength in God …those helped
by Him …those upheld by His righteous right hand.
