“Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God:
I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of My righteousness.” — Isaiah 41:10 (KJV)

There are moments when life feels overwhelming—when the weight of uncertainty, fear, or disappointment presses hard against our hearts. Yet, God speaks directly into those moments: “Fear not, for I am with thee.”

He doesn’t just promise His presence; He assures us of His strength, His help, and His steadying hand. Notice the imagery: “the right hand of My righteousness.” This is not a weak or wavering grip—it’s the strong, unshakable hold of the God who never loses His children.

When our own strength gives way, God’s righteousness upholds us. Faith is not in our ability to stand—it’s in His ability to hold us securely.

“God doesn’t just walk beside us—He holds us up when our own strength gives way.”

1. God’s presence drives out fear — We are never alone, even in our darkest valleys.
2. Strength is supplied, not demanded — God provides the strength we need; He doesn’t require us to muster it on our own.
3. His grip is secure — The right hand of His righteousness cannot fail or falter.

When fear or discouragement tries to pull you down, what would it look like in your life to truly rest in God’s “upholding hand”?

This week, whenever you feel anxious or overwhelmed, pause and visualize God’s hand holding you steady. Whisper this truth to yourself: “I am upheld by the right hand of His righteousness.” Let this reminder shift your perspective from fear to faith.

Father, thank You for the promise of Your presence and Your power. When fear creeps in, remind me that I am never alone. Uphold me with Your righteous right hand, and help me to walk in the strength and peace that only You can give. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

You may stumble, but you will never fall beyond the reach of God’s hand. Today, walk with confidence—because the One who upholds the universe is holding you too.
