God's promises

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

God's promises are beautiful.  They are sustaining and they are true.  I do not know about you, but it takes me a minute to get roaring in my work week.  Monday's are me calling on Jesus  to do all things in His strength.  Tuesdays . I press my way through to get to hump day. (Just being real.)  But this Monday, the memory verse for the week had me jumping for joy because I knew that I would not be doing my day or week alone.

 God tells me that I have nothing to fear for He is with me.  I do not have to fear the worries on the job or the demands of home life.  I do not have to be dismayed by Monday blues for He is my God and my God is bigger than anything.  He is better than anything.  Nothing compares to Him.  There's a hallelujah shout right there.

He then goes on to tell me that He will strengthen me.  See, I do not have to do life in my own strength.  I have the heavenly Father walking right beside, making my yoke easier( Mathew 11:30).  He says that He will help me. He will help me kind to my students and extend grace to those that might attempt to challenge me.  

My Father also says that He will uphold me with His righteous hand.  I wont fall.  I wont slip.  God's got me and He has my front and back.  My God is a good, good God.  His word is not just for me, but its for you too.

Lord, I love you and I thank You for coming along beside me.  Thank You for the hope that Your word brings me.  Thank You for the evidence of it each and every day.  Thank You for being my strength and help.  Thank You for letting fear slip away as I stand in the confidence of You.  In Jesus name.  Amen
