Isaiah 41:10(AMP*) - 'Do not fear [anything], for I am with you;
Do not be afraid, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you, be assured I will help you;
I will certainly take hold of you with My righteous right hand [a hand of justice, of power, of victory, of salvation].’
Fear is an enemy we take for granted. When you allow fear to take over your life, it can cripple you to the point where you can no longer think clearly. Growing up i use to have a fear of darkness(which i think most children do). I would imagine all sort of things when i was faced with darkness. I also use to have a tingling of fear in my heart whenever i was eating and that meant letting go of whatever i was eating. I never knew why or could explain why and we use to joke about it. I took no notice of it until i recently had a serious encounter with fear. I was then reminded of how it all started in my childhood and how it had built up within me. I started praying about it and meditating on such promises from God which boldly tells us not to fear.
When we go through the scriptures, there are several reminders from God telling us not to fear. In this verse not only does God urge us not to fear but He goes on to remind us that He is our God and that He will strengthen, help and hold us with His righteous Right Hand......a right hand representing POWER, AUTHORITY and a CERTAINTY of VICTORY. If you've ever experienced fear or you still are bound by fear, this is the promise of God for you. DO NOT FEAR. Keep reminding yourself and see the victory in Jesus Name. Amen. Have a blessed day.
*Amplified Version
