Did you know that the Bible has 31,101 verses?
Out of all that, I'm sure many of you have a list of your favorites, the ones that you go to again and again for the comfort or the assurance that you need from Him. I'm not going to ask you what your most favorite verse is, but rather one that you turn to in those moments of distress. So tell me. . . what is your go-to verse? I'd like to share mine with you. :) "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." ~Isaiah 41:10 One of the reasons I love this verse is because of all the promises jam-packed into a single verse. Did you notice all of them? He is with us. He is our God. He will strengthen us. He will help us. He will uphold us. And it starts with a phrase that is so, so comforting. Fear thou not. . . It's almost like a father's whisper to his fearful child: "Don't be afraid." Think about it. We fear a lot of things addressed in this verse: -Being alone -Things we can't control -Weakness -Without help -Falling down (whether in a physical or spiritual sense) Re-read the verse, then the list of promises and you'll find that. . . -We are NOT alone. -We know the One who controls all things. -We are strengthened by Him. -Help is only a prayer away. -He won't let us fall. Most of all, He is more than enough. <3
