"Fear not, for I am with you;
 Be not dismayed, for I am your God.
 I will strengthen you,
 Yes I will help you,
 I will uphold you with My righteous right hand."  Isaiah 41:10

What a year 2020 has been so far!  This verse of Scripture has been one of reassurance to all of us who are God's people.  God set into motion, in eternity past and continues, His plan and it will continue until it is completed.  Knowing this we are in awe as to what is happening in our nation and around the world even this very day!

God said to fear not, and we are not to be dismayed.  As our hearts, minds and emotions (our whole being) are focused on Christ Jesus in faith and trust we are strengthened knowing that He is our firm foundation!  The verses of this old hymn goes along with our opening verse:
     "How firm a foundation, ye saints of he Lord,
      Is laid for your faith in his excellent word!
      What more can he say than to you he has said,
      To you who for refuge to Jesus have fled?

      Fear not, I am with thee, O be not dismayed;
      For I am thy God, and will still give thee aid;
      I'll strengthen thee, help thee, and cause thee to stand,
      Upheld by my righteous, omnipotent hand."

How great, precious and wonderful are the promises of God!

The Apostle Paul in 2 Corinthians 1:20 says,
"For all the promises of God in Him (Jesus Christ) are Yes, and in Him Amen, to the glory of God..."

The Apostle Peter tells us in 2 Peter 1:3-4,
"As His divine power has given us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him who called us by glory and virtue'
 by which have been given to us exceedingly great and precious promises, that through these you may be partakers of the divine nature, have escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust."

And we all know and have seen written in many different places throughout our nation and I assume many other places in the world, this great promise:
John 3:16,
"For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish, but have eternal life."

We just can't help singing!
     "Our God is an awesome God,
      He reigns from heaven above;
      With wisdom, pow'r and love,
      Our God is an awesome God!"

Thank you most holy God: Father, Son and Holy Spirit for the multitude of promises in the Scriptures to those who believe!  With grateful hearts we will ever praise, honor and glorify You!  Amen
