God’s Right Hand

April 1

“So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.”
Isaiah 41:10 NIV

Thank you Russell for the help with today’s devotional. Last week I was dismayed, I had been sick all day, stuck at the hospital. I had spent half the day in the car in the a parking lot.  Now it was time for my radiation treatment. I wont get into all the details but the treatment did not go well and they had to reset my appointment for the next week. The next day Russell sent me this verse in the morning.  “Fear not for I am with thee” these are famous words, but what does it mean. Yes, I know God is with me, He’s God and He’s everywhere right? Oh, it means so much more then just that dear brothers and sisters.  He is with you in a special way. He is there by your side in your times of trouble to comfort and strengthen you. You are held in His hand.

For that reason you do not need to fear any enemy, trial, suffering or trouble that may come your way.  “With the right hand of my righteousness” Name any place you would rather be than in the right hand of your savior. This is a special place, nothing can harm you in Jesus hand. This is a powerful protection and preservation, this hand will not let you go till you stand in the very presence and grace of our Father.  This hand…unfailing hand will see you through till the very end, through all trials and temptations.  Amen.

P.S.
The following treatment went much better.
