Isa 41:10 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.’
Although life in captivity was not going to be easy, God promised the Israelites that he was going to be with them. The relationship between Yahweh and his people was not the ordinary ; it was a covenant relationship. Yahweh was going to be personally present with them.
He was also going to help them, strengthen them and uphold them with his righteous right hand. God’s right hand is normally associated with his military might. The inability of other nations to contend with Israel was because of divine protection and intimacy.
The scenario today is not different from that one of the days of old. We are confronted with challenges that have the capacity to cause terror and chaos in our lives. You do not have the strength and the ability protect yourself but God will sustain you. ” Thus says the Lord, fear not for I am with you .Do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, yes, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand. ”
