DAY EIGHT
God’s Promise:
I will be with you.
Don’t be afraid, for I am with you. Don’t be discouraged, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you. I will hold you up with my victorious right hand. - Isaiah 41:10 (NLT)
Fear and discouragement are the twins that breed weakness and defeat in many believers’ lives. Every believer longs to please the Lord, but like a ball and chain, fear and discouragement hold us back from fulfilling those desires. In this promise, God gives us His remedy against every fear and discouragement.
Oftentimes, being afraid is the result of fear of the unknown and an uncertainty about the future. It’s during these uncertain times God promises His presence. He says, “Don’t worry, I’ll be with you!”
Discouragement, however, arises most often through results of known and anticipated defeat. The bleakness laying before us sinks the heart and makes somber the soul. To discouragement, God promises His power. He says, “Don’t be discouraged, for I am your God!”
Are you going through difficulties or feeling defeated? God says, “Don’t fear! I am with you. Don’t be discouraged, I am your God.” He is ready to strengthen you and help you so that you can walk in victory.
Action Step:
I will trust God’s presence. I will be encouraged knowing that God is with me and strengthens me.
