I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness. (Isaiah 41:10)
Fear of falling is wholesome. To be venturesome is no sign of wisdom.
Times come to us when we feel that we must go down unless we have a very special support. Here we have it.
God’s right hand is a grand thing t to lean upon. Mind, it is not only His hand, though it keepeth heaven and earth in their places, but His right hand: His power united with skill, His power where it is most dexterous.
Nay, this not all; it is written, “I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.”
That hand which he uses to maintain his holiness and to execute His royal sentences – this shall be stretched out to holdup His trusting ones. Fearful is our danger, but joyful is our security. The man whom God upholds; devils cannot throw down.
Weak may be our feet, but almighty is God’s right hand. Rough may be the road, but Omnipotence is our upholding. We may boldly go forward. We shall not fall. Let us lean continually where all things lean.
God will not withdraw His strength, for His righteousness is there as well.
He will be faithful to His promise, and faithful to His Son, and therefore faithful to us.
Let us count our blessings and bless The Lord Our God through Christ Jesus and with many thanks to our beloved Holy Spirit. Our lives would be a complete ruin were it not for them and the angels who are surrounding and protecting us. So then let us remember the blessings and thank God for all of them, recall to memory our sins, request forgiveness and repent of them, follow God’s Righteous Way and be happy for our comforts, for life can be and is worse for many others.
How happy we ought to be! Are we not so?
