Fear drains our strength and leaves us feeling depleted and hopeless. Discouragement and dismay can rob us of emotional resilience and dull our passion for serving God.Yet few of us have faced a defeat as deep as the one God’s people experienced when Isaiah spoke these words of hope. Their long history, from exile to the time of Jesus, stands as a powerful reminder of God’s faithfulness to keep His promises.And when all seemed lost again, the endurance of Jesus’ followers through centuries of persecution showed the same truth. God was still at work.Underneath us are His everlasting arms, holding us steady. By His strength and His righteous right hand, He will sustain us and bring us into His victory.
