Heart to Heart

From God’s Heart to Our Hearts

The implications of the Lord holding your right hand are profound and multifaceted:

While on a retreat a short while ago, I felt the Spirit of God bring the scripture Isaiah 41:10-13 to my heart. It says:

10 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.’

11 “Behold, all those who were incensed against you Shall be ashamed and disgraced; They shall be as nothing, And those who strive with you shall perish.

12 You shall seek them and not find them

[e]Those who contended with you. Those who war against you Shall be as nothing, As a nonexistent thing.

13 For I, the Lord your God, will hold your right hand, Saying to you, ‘Fear not, I will help you.’(NKJV)

Beloved, if the Lord says it, He will bring it to pass (Numbers 23:19). At this time when the world faces insecurity, instability, and reasons to fear, God is saying, “Do not fear!” He is taking your right hand to lead you

Compassionate Guidance: You do not have to navigate life alone; the Lord will guide you through life's journeys Constant Presence: He will stick close to you, indicating that He will never be far away, providing comfort and assurance in times of need. It confirms He is a very present help in times of trouble (Psalm 46:1)

Dependence on God's Strength: As He holds your right hand, a symbol of strength, it becomes clear that your strength may not be enough in certain phases of life, underscoring the necessity of relying on God's strength

Trusting Relationship: It demonstrates the importance of having a trusting relationship with God, relying on Him for support and guidance

Authority and Blessings: Since the right hand symbolises authority, leadership, strength, blessings, and freedom, it suggests that all these attributes must derive from God.

Divine Protection: God holds your right hand, your arm of defence, signifying that He is your ultimate defence and protector, who guarantees your safety and security

Dear Partner, let your heart rest in this assurance from God’s heart: “Fear not, God will help you”

Yours in God’s vineyard,
