Do Not Fear, I Am With You!

Do not fear, for I am with you; do not be afraid, for I am your God. I will strengthen you; I will help you; I will hold on to you with My righteous right hand. Be sure that all who are enraged against you will be ashamed and disgraced; those who contend with you will become as nothing and will perish. You will look for those who contend with you, but you will not find them. Those who war against you will become absolutely nothing.
Isaiah 41:10‭-‬12 HCSB

In this Chapter in Isaiah the writer is prophesying about Cyrus of Persia, who would defeat the Babylonians and set God's people free. God had a plan and He would work that plan.

This chapter is one of an abundant turn around of fortune by God's people and the destruction of their enemies. If God be for me, who can be against me! When God is on the case, things change quickly and for the best. Amen!

I love the language and conversational tone. It is like: "come, let's talk about what I will do!" God is an intimate God who shadows His people. We can trust in Him. Amen!
