“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.” Isa 41:10

This chapter contains a summons to the enemies of Christ to come and try their cause between God and his children before him, who has declared from the beginning, that we may know and say He is righteous (vs 25). So, as his children we are faced with a fight or flight option. We stand on the promise that his righteousness will prevail in us by his strength or we take flight being dismayed and fearful that our enemies will overcome the strength of his right hand and destroy us. Isaiah said, “fear not” fear has one of two meanings: Forget Everything And Run or Face Everything And Rise. Gal 6:9 “let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.” You must avoid weariness and faintness in your walk. Satan, like the roaring lion he is, looks to cut the weak from a pack to separate and isolate them, thus forcing them to run until they become weary and faint, and then he devours them. God declares his omnipotent power and promises to strengthen, help and uphold you in your weary state by the power of his right hand which he uses to “dash in pieces the enemy.” (Exo 15:6). If you feel like quitting think about the cross and why you started, then determine if there is a better option.

Standing with God will cause others to ask why you’re doing it, to only later ask how you did it!
