Context/Background: Israel was in need of some reassurance and a reminder that God cared. (Isaiah 40:27-31)
Isaiah 41:10 ... fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.

God's assurances from Isaiah 41:10 ...
1. God doesn't want them to be afraid
2. They will receive strength from God
3. God will help them
My thoughts: some days I feel so inadequate for the tasks before me. Today, I awoke feeling that way and cried out to God in prayer. Later, as I began my Bible study for the day, this verse leapt off the page to me. Thank you, Lord, for the reminder! I love You Lord, my strength!
