“For I am the Lord your God who takes hold of your right hand and says to you, Do not fear; I will help you.” Isaiah 41:13 NIV
I know that I have written about fear before and that God is with me so I should have courage. Today I am writing about how God has promised to take my right hand and help me. I have been given the privilege and honor of being part of a committee that decides how to spend time worshipping God during a particular retreat for an entire area of churches in my denomination.
This is scary because I want to do what God wants me to do and I want to do it the way God wants me to do it. I want to get this right, I want my involvement to glorify God. My fear has to do with how big this feels. I have not been involved with anything to this magnitude before.
However, as I write this, I am beginning to feel peace building inside of me about this. I need to remember to make sure that my thoughts, feelings and actions are focused on glorifying God, not on fear. I need to remember that I am never alone and that God has promised to help me to do anything that He has asked of me. God is always with me and every other believer, so I am choosing to reach out my hand and feel Him walking beside me.
Heavenly Father, thank You for always helping me to complete what is in Your will for my life. Thank You for never leaving me. Help me to glorify You with my involvement on this committee. In Your Son’s most precious name, Amen.
