Joyful Security
I will uphold you with my righteous right hand. -Isaiah 41:10 ESV
Fear of falling is wholesome. To be venturesome is no sign of wisdom. Times come to us when we feel that we will go down unless we have a very special support. Here we have it. God’s right hand is a grand thing to lean upon. Mind you, it is not only His hand, though it keeps heaven and earth in their places, but His right hand: His power united with skill, His power where it is most dexterous. No, this is not all; it is written, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand. That hand which He uses to maintain His holiness and to execute His royal sentences — this shall be stretched out to hold up His trusting ones. Fearful is our danger, but joyful is our security. The man whom God upholds, devils cannot throw down.
Our feet may be weak, but almighty is God’s right hand. Rough may be the road, but Omnipotence is our upholding. We may boldly go forward. We shall not fall. Let us lean continually where all things lean. God will not withdraw His strength, for His righteousness is there as well. He will be faithful to His promise, and faithful to His Son, and therefore faithful to us. How happy we ought to be! Are we not? †
