“I am Yahweh, your mighty God!”
The LORD is a Warrior; Yahweh is His name.
The One who makes all that which has been made. He is our God.
He is mighty! His Power and Strength are incomparable to any other.
“I grip your right hand…”
This same victorious right hand is the one that tears down enemies – overthrowing all who rise against Him. He aggressively defends His own and liberates the captives, setting them free. Just as He did for the Israelites, so He will do for you and me.
“…and won’t let you go!”
There’s no time limit in His presence. He’s not confined to only be with us at certain times, or in certain ways, or certain places. His grace grips us tight and promises to never let go.
“I whisper to you…”
His nearness to us reflects the volume of His voice, despite whether or not we’re paying attention. He never leaves us. Amongst the chaos of the world and the loud voices that surrounds us, He never moves away from us. He speaks to us in the still small voice, when we seek Him in the stillness, we hear the beautiful sounds of His whisper.
“Don’t be afraid”
He knows our fears. He sees us tremble when we focus on what it is that makes us afraid. Yet over and over again through Scripture He reminds us to not be afraid. His love drives out the fear that tries to cripple us, and He replaces our fear with His peace. His peace guards our hearts and settles our minds.
“I am here to help you!”
Aren’t you so thankful for that? Aren’t you so thankful that we can cling to the promise that He is always here with us? And that He is always available to help us wherever, whenever, regardless of the circumstance that we’re in.
What a loving and gracious God we have!
[reference Isaiah 41:13]
