TIMES OF REFRESHING ONLINE DAILY DEVOTIONAL www.thefountspring.org
DATE: SUNDAY, 8 OCTOBER 2023
So, beloved, the unsought pressure and unsolicited tension of difficult times can be so tough and devastating. It’s easy to feel unstable and uncertain. But the undiluted promise and assurance of the very last words of Isaiah 41:10 is so comforting. God says, “I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.” When God assures us that He will uphold us with His righteous right hand, it signifies His unwavering support. His right hand represents His strength and authority. Just as a loving parent holds their child’s hand to guide and protect them, God holds us in His mighty hand, ensuring our safety and security.
Bottom of FormSCRIPTURE: “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 (NIV)
REFRESHING FOR THE DAY: The promise signifies God’s righteousness and justice. God is not only powerful but also perfectly just. When we face challenges or injustices, we can trust that God, in His righteousness, will ultimately bring about justice and make things right. He will shield us from the attacks of the enemy, whether they be physical, emotional, or spiritual. When we face adversity, we can trust that God is our protector, keeping us safe from harm. Stay Refreshed!
NOTE THIS: “I will uphold you with my righteous right hand” encapsulates God’s commitment to being our protector, guide, and source of strength. It signifies His righteousness and justice in the face of adversity and serves as a reminder that we are not alone in our struggles.
RESPONSIBILITY: So, as we reflect on this promise, may we find comfort, peace, and the reassurance of God’s loving and unwavering support in every season of life.
PRAYER: O GOD, thank You for Your wonderful promises in Your Word. May we find comfort, peace, and encouragement through them in times of troubles, in the name of Jesus’ Amen!
PROPHETIC WORD: May the Lord support and help us in times of troubles and difficulty, and give us peace, in the name of Jesus’ Amen!
