He Is Here

Isaiah 41:10 

“Do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.”

Fear has a loud voice. It shouts in the night and whispers through the day. But God meets us right there — at the place where fear lives. His first word is not a command to perform or a call to try harder. It is a simple, stunning declaration. It is don’t be afraid because “I am with you.” Not “I might be” or “I was.” He is already here. 

He is not any God. He is yours. Personal and pledged to you. Whatever you need today, you will not manufacture it yourself. He is the source. He fills what fear has emptied. He restores what worry has eroded.

I’m Lonnie Davis and these are thoughts worth thinking.

Suggested Prayer: Father, when fear speaks loudly, remind me that You are here. You are my God, and my ever-present help.
