00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:04.900
I'm thinking today of Isaiah 41 10 it says fear

00:00:04.900 --> 00:00:09.179
thou not for I am with thee be not dismayed for

00:00:09.179 --> 00:00:13.339
I am thy God I will strengthen thee yea I will

00:00:13.339 --> 00:00:17.120
help thee yea I will uphold thee with the right

00:00:17.120 --> 00:00:21.519
hand of my righteousness this verse reminds us

00:00:21.519 --> 00:00:25.100
that we shouldn't be looking around searching

00:00:25.870 --> 00:00:28.789
They say, hope is filter for what might work

00:00:28.789 --> 00:00:33.109
or for what's coming or anxiously expecting the

00:00:33.109 --> 00:00:36.670
worst or anxiously expecting some salvation that

00:00:36.670 --> 00:00:40.109
we can clutch onto to solve the problem. God's

00:00:40.109 --> 00:00:43.469
got this. He'll get his part right. He doesn't

00:00:43.469 --> 00:00:46.030
mess up. He didn't make any mistakes. And you

00:00:46.030 --> 00:00:49.009
have the ability to glorify him right in the

00:00:49.009 --> 00:00:53.789
situation that you're in. Praise God. We have

00:00:53.789 --> 00:00:56.490
nothing to fear. He has everything well in hand.

00:00:57.009 --> 00:00:59.210
That being said then, when we look at the problem

00:00:59.210 --> 00:01:01.770
and we realize that we're facing something that

00:01:01.770 --> 00:01:05.590
we don't know what to do with it exactly. We're

00:01:05.590 --> 00:01:08.370
not overcoming our temptation or we're struggling

00:01:08.370 --> 00:01:11.609
with addiction or we're struggling with discouragement

00:01:11.609 --> 00:01:13.849
or we have health problems that just don't seem

00:01:13.849 --> 00:01:17.870
to go away. We have to not be dismayed. We have

00:01:17.870 --> 00:01:21.049
to realize that If this is our lot, then it's

00:01:21.049 --> 00:01:24.170
our lot to plow through. It's our lot to stand

00:01:24.170 --> 00:01:27.170
firm. It's our lot to be good, to do righteousness.

00:01:27.569 --> 00:01:31.790
And God will uphold us with his mighty right

00:01:31.790 --> 00:01:35.670
hand of righteousness. Praise God that he's there

00:01:35.670 --> 00:01:39.829
for us every moment. His presence is real, and

00:01:39.829 --> 00:01:42.409
he's taking care of it. He'll get his part right.
