“Therefore don’t look around at your situation, but look up, up to the God who can control your circumstances. Fix your gaze on Him because if you know Him as your Savior, He holds you in the palm of His hand.”
I read these words from a commentary on Isaiah 41:10…they are good aren’t they?
Isaiah 41:10- “Do not fear Do not be {dismayed}- anxiously -look around you for I AM your God, I AM With You, I WILL Strengthen YOU, I will Help YOU, I WILL Uphold YOU with MY Rightous right hand.”
1.- GOD’S PROHIBITIONS;
“DO NOT….DO NOT”
And why they need not to,…is God’s REASON’S, which are…
2. – GOD’S PROMISES…of
A. – His 2 “I AM’s” –
“I AM …Your God… I AM with You”
B. – His 3 “I WILL’S” –
” I WILL…strengthen… I WILL HELP… I WILL UPHOLD…”
God’s Prohibition’s- “Do Not…Do Not”…
God’s Promise’s – “I WILL…I WILL…I WILL”
God’s Presence assured “I AM WITH YOU!” –
God’s Power to enable in times of temptation, difficulty and Fear
“To know God and to confide in Him is to be invincible. None can really injure one whose confidence is in the Lord, for He will cause all that seems to be evil to work for the good of those who put their trust in Him. It is thus that fear, that deadly enemy of the heart, is overcome.” – Harry Ironside
