Isaiah 41:1-10

Fear not. This is a great often repeated command throughout the scriptures. No where in all of scripture are we as children of God given permission to fear anything in this world. We are commanded to fear God and fear absolutely nothing else. Fear of anything other than God in the life of a believer will destroy our faith. When we as believers live in fear of the things of this world, our life will become faithless, loveless and fruitless. Nothing good will ever come from living in disobedience to this loving command from our heavenly Father.God give us this command and all of His commands because He loves us. We keep God's commands because we love Him. How could we say we love God and refuse to keep His commands.This command comes with a promise. As we keep God's command, he is our God and He is with us. God alone will strengthen us, help us and uphold us with his righteous right hand.May we all determine now to live in obedience to all that God's word says regardless of cost or consequence. May we by faith embrace the truth of the promises found in His word until Jesus returns and sets up His Kingdom.Maranatha

1 Keep silence before me, O islands; and let the people renew their strength: let them come near; then let them speak: let us come near together to judgment.

2 Who raised up the righteous man from the east, called him to his foot, gave the nations before him, and made him rule over kings? he gave them as the dust to his sword, and as driven stubble to his bow.

3 He pursued them, and passed safely; even by the way that he had not gone with his feet.

4 Who hath wrought and done it, calling the generations from the beginning? I the LORD, the first, and with the last; I am he.

5 The isles saw it, and feared; the ends of the earth were afraid, drew near, and came.

6 They helped every one his neighbour; and every one said to his brother, Be of good courage.

7 So the carpenter encouraged the goldsmith, and he that smootheth with the hammer him that smote the anvil, saying, It is ready for the sodering: and he fastened it with nails, that it should not be moved.

8 But thou, Israel, art my servant, Jacob whom I have chosen, the seed of Abraham my friend.

9 Thou whom I have taken from the ends of the earth, and called thee from the chief men thereof, and said unto thee, Thou art my servant; I have chosen thee, and not cast thee away.

10 Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.
