"The LORD Upholds Us With HIS Hand!"

I will uphold you with My righteous right hand!

(James Smith, "Comfort for Christians!")

"So do not fear--
for I am with you; do not be 
dismayed--for I am your GOD. 
I will strengthen you and help you; 
I will uphold you with My righteous 
right hand!" Isaiah 41:10

What a precious promise this is 
for all GOD;S feeble children, who 
are daily fearing that they shall fall 
or be crushed under the weight 
of their troubles and trials!

O believer, what comfort is here! 

This promise is confirmed 
to you in JESUS, by HIS 
death. Yes, it is yours--
as much so as if it was 
spoken to you directly 
by the mouth of GOD!

Oh, what a mercy! 

GOD says that HE will 
uphold you. HE will put 
strength into you; HE will 
enable you to bear your 
afflictions and will bring you 
safely through all your troubles.

Satan may say, 
"I will trip you up."
GOD says, 
"I will uphold you!"

Unbelief may say, 
"You will one day fall and perish."
GOD says, 
"I will uphold you!"

Your flesh may cry out, 
"I can never bear up under this cross."
GOD says, 
"I will uphold you!"

Your feeble heart may say, 
"How can I endure such privations, 
such bereavements, such buffetings 
of satan, such temptations, such 
losses, such fiery trials?"
GO says, 
"I will uphold you!"

The Bible testifies that all believers 

"go from strength to strength, until 
each appears before GOD in Zion" 
Psalm 84:7

In weakness--
the LORD strengthens them;
in poverty--
the LORD supplies their needs;
in sickness--
the LORD sustains them; and
in death--
the LORD gives them the final victory!

O FATHER, I am weak--
but YOU are strong. Give me 
of YOUR strength so that 
I may serve YOU and walk 
with YOU all the days 
of my life on this earth.

"If the LORD delights in a man's way--
HE makes his steps firm; though 
he stumbles, he will not fall--
for the LORD upholds him 
with HIS hand!" Psalm 37:23-24
