But neither are your circumstances. So take heart from Isaiah 41:10, “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.”

 

Fear haunts our hearts and freezes our footsteps. Fear threatens to rip us to shreds. Instead of focusing on your fear fix your heart on the Lord who is always with you. We have a choice. Live in fear of all the uncertainties, or cling to the reality of God’s sustaining and intervening presence in our lives. Be strengthened by the fact that you are not in control, and neither are your circumstances. Almighty God is on the throne and everything is working according to His good, wise, and loving plan. You may be unsure of what will happen next. God cannot be caught by surprise. Place your confidence there, in the God who is always good, only wise, completely loving, and all-powerful.
