“’Do not fear, for I am with you; Do not anxiously look about you, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, surely I will help you, Surely I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.’” (Isaiah 41:10 NASB)
This excites me! Look at what this says.
- There is no need for us to fear, for God is with us.
- We don’t have to be anxious when we know that He is our God.
- He strengthens us and helps us.
And the really exciting one!
- He upholds us with His righteous right hand.
The thing that makes this so exciting to me is the clear flash of revelation that attached itself to my mind’s eye of understanding as I read it this go round. You have heard the adage, “right hand man”, right? WHO sits at God’s Right hand?
JESUS!
And what did Jesus do for us in the name and authority of the Father?
PROPITIATE!
He paid the full price owed for us in our sin. He became for us, our…
KINSMAN REDEEMER!
Because of Jesus, NOTHING can take us out of our Father’s Hand. We are safe, secure, rescued and restored. And God has…
“raised us up with Him, and seated us with Him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus” (Ephesians 2:6).
We are the body of Christ, held up, stabilized, and made strong in The Father’s Righteous, Right Hand.
“He made Him who knew no sin to be sin on our behalf, so that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.” (2 Corinthians 5:21 NASB)
“Who are you to judge the servant of another? To his own master he stands or falls; and he will stand, for the Lord is able to make him stand.” (Romans 14:4 NASB)
“Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling, and to make you stand in the presence of His glory blameless with great joy, to the only God our Savior, through Jesus Christ our Lord, be glory, majesty, dominion and authority, before all time and now and forever. Amen.” (Jude 1:24-25 NASB)
