July 24, 2016: SOAP #2425: Isaiah 40-42; 1Peter 3

Scripture: Isaiah (NIV) 41:14 Do not be afraid, O worm Jacob, O little Israel, for I myself will help you,” declares the LORD, your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel.

Observation: God gave Israel a reason not to be afraid. It was not because they were so strong. It was not because God was going to raise up a mighty army to defend them. It was not because God was going to send an angel, or a band of angels to protect them. It was because God, Almighty Himself was going to help them!

Application: Today, I need not be afraid because of the same reason. The God who promised to help them, lives in my life! I can trust His counsel because He is omniscient! I can trust His protection because He is omnipotent! I can trust His continued presence because He is omnipresent! I can trust His love because He died for me!

Prayer:   Heavenly Father, I am honored to have your presence in my life seven days each week and twenty-four hours every day! Today I want that truth to accompany every thought that crosses my mind. Amen
