King James Version

Passage Context

¹¹Behold, all they that were incensed against thee shall be ashamed and confounded: they shall be as nothing; and they that strive with thee shall perish.

¹²Thou shalt seek them, and shalt not find them, even them that contended with thee: they that war against thee shall be as nothing, and as a thing of nought.

¹³For I the LORD thy God will hold thy right hand, saying unto thee, Fear not; I will help thee.

¹⁴Fear not, thou worm Jacob, and ye men of Israel; I will help thee, saith the LORD, and thy redeemer, the Holy One of Israel.

¹⁵Behold, I will make thee a new sharp threshing instrument having teeth: thou shalt thresh the mountains, and beat them small, and shalt make the hills as chaff.

Devotional Reflection

When life hits us, we wish we could go back to being kids. Then, maybe someone would care for us and keep us safe from our worries and fears. God's faithfulness comes to us again in the form of a promise in our confusing and chaotic world. God reaches down and takes our hands, like a loving parent would do with a scared child. He makes us feel better with His wise words, "Don't be afraid. I'm right next to you. I'll help you." Even when it seems like the LORD is far away, this promise can help us remember that we are never alone or forgotten (Hebrews 13:5-6; Romans 8:32-39).

Prayer

Please help me believe that You are there, Abba Father, whose presence and help are always close by. I'll admit that there have been times in my life when You seemed far away and I felt alone. Please let me know through Your Spirit that You are close and care about me. Please show Yourself to me when I'm struggling and having doubts. In Jesus' precious name, I pray. Amen.
