Have you ever used this phrase? If you have, you know that it is meant to describe someone who is in a very favorable or advantageous position. It conveys the idea of being comfortable and/or worry-free. Sounds good, right? If that’s the position we would desire to be in, how do we get there when everywhere you look, there is turmoil, strife, and hatred? The short answer is Jesus. The long answer is Jesus. Basically, the answer will always be Jesus.
Isaiah 4:10 (NKJV)
Fear not, for I am with you;
Be not dismayed, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you,
Yes, I will help you.
I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.
Did you catch it? How do we find that peaceful, worry-free feeling? These 5 short lines give us all we need. He’s with us. He is our God. He gives strength. He helps. He upholds. If we have all that, what else do we need? We would very much be sitting pretty. I pray we all take these wonderful promises from our Creator, and we cling to them. When the day brings something other than peace, let’s remember how good we have it. We have a relationship with a loving Father that provides anything and everything we need.
