DAILY BREuAD OF LIFE

(KJV.)  ISAIAH 41:9-11

(9)   Thou whom I have taken from the ends of the earth, and called thee from the chief men thereof, and said unto thee,  Thou art my servant;  I have chosen thee, and not cast thee away.
(10)  Fear thou not; for I am with thee:  be not dismayed;  for I am thy God:  I will strengthen thee;  yea,  I will help thee;  yea,  I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.
(11)  Behold,  all they that were incensed against thee shall be ashamed and confounded:  they shall be as nothing;  and they that strive with thee shall perish.

FEAR NOT;  "I AM" IS WITH YOU! 

Brethren, our heavenly Father searches the hearts of humanity, chooses souls for salvation, and set them aside as his chosen children, to be proud of and utilize as vessels of his glory;  however, when they trespasses or turn away from him, he does not disowns them completely; but turns his face away from them, casts them asides because of their sins, allows the enemy to chastise them, when they repent from going astray from him, ask for his forgiveness and mercies; because of who he is, his love, faithfulness and compassion, he restores them, shines his lights of love and mercies upon them forevermore.

As beloved chosen people of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior, regardless of what type of storms of lives, waves of billows, desert lands, furnace of fires, or whirlwinds of torments, blowing around our souls; our Father is encouraging us, saying,  (i)  Fear thou not;  therefore, if the creator and owner of all things of heaven and earth assures us not to be afraid; then we ought not to be afraid, he is in absolute control of our lives in all troubles, for, it is written in the book of Psalm 24:1; "The earth is the LORD's, and the fulness thereof;  the world,  and they that dwell therein.";  that's it!; our Father owns all things, engineers all things of both heaven and earth; we were not alone on earth but he is with us; we are in his presence;  as a result, if we walk in his righteousness and are favored by him, there is no evil that can prevail against us, he will fight our battles and prevail against all odds; do not be afraid!  (ii)  I am with thee;  this is a spectacular assurance of our Father, take a closer look at the text; when Moses asked our Father's name on the Mountain of our Father, Horeb, it is written in Exodus 3:14; "And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said,  Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you.";  if the I AM, is with us, who can be against us?; also, when Pharaoh arrogated himself against our Father's will, him and his army was destroyed in the Red Sea; see we do not have to fight our own battles, we just have to obey our Father, trust in him, do his will, the blood of Jesus Christ already conquered our enemies, and at the mention of his name, we are more than victorious on planet earth;  (iii)  be not dismayed;  whatever mountains of difficulties we face in life, and have lost courage and firmness in spirit, feel overwhelmed and sinking in the face of our troubles; our Father is saying, "do not be depressed or have anxieties, but trust in me";  for, it is written in the book of Psalm 37:1-2; "Fret not thyself because of evildoers, neither be thou envious against the workers of iniquity. For they shall soon be cut down like grass, and wither as the green herb.";  therefore, let us have greater faith in our Father through Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior, that things will get better soon, at appointed times;  (iv)  for I am thy God:  if the great I AM THAT I AM, is our Father, and Jesus Christ is our Lord and Savior, there is nothing to fear; for, we have a greater habitations under his wings of protection;  for it is written in the book of Psalm 91:1; "He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.";  he is our refuge and fortress: therefore, let us trust in him and him alone; he will surely deliver us from perils and dangers of this world of darkness;  (v)  I will strengthen thee;  regardless of how spiritual we are, at times, we feel over burden with wordily issues; however, if we belong to our Father, and his breathe resides in our innermost spirits, then we already have strength in him; and need more fires from the Holy Spirit; let us get into his words, pray fervently, be in his presence; for it is written in book of Isaiah 40:29; "He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might be increaseth strength."; therefore, he will not leave our souls in fainting and weakening positions, neither will he allow trails and tribulations overshadow his glories in our lives; but rather, bring our souls under his shadow, in his righteousness; for in his presence, there is fullness of joy, and at his right hand there are everlasting pleasures, let us be strong in his might!;  (vi)  yea, I will help thee: our Father had sworn and he will perform it; this is an affirmation from him that whatever he said he will do, he does; therefore, let us not worry ourselves in this world; we are covered with the blood of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior; his goodness and mercies never fails, they are renewed every morning;  (vii)  yea,  I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness:  the right hand of our Father's righteousness!; what an amazing grace!; how wonderful and save we are in the hands of the Almighty Father, creator of all things, and because our Father is a justifiable Father, he limits how much sufferings his children can bear, and does not allow them to suffer more than they can endure; for it is written in the book of 1 Peter 5:10; "But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you."; therefore, our Father is faithful in all his ways, watches over his children at all times, if we are in any sufferings currently, praying fervently; let us know that he can hear our prayers, and watching over our lives, trust him with all our hearts, and wait patiently for his deliverance and settlements by the grace of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior. therefore, let us not pay attentions to haters, but focus entirely on Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior; for whatever they meant for evil against us; he already died and rose again to changed things around for good and for his glorification forevermore.

CONCLUSION:

Dearly beloved, we are called out of darkness of this world into the marvelous lights of our Father, through Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior; when we find ourselves in any type of sufferings; let us know for sure that our Father is with us, working and will not leave our souls to drown in troubles of this world; but, with our troubles, transform our lives, make us useful vessels for his glorification in his righteousness; and thereafter, pacify our souls with love, goodness and mercies; for in him there is fullness of joy, and in his right hand, there are pleasures forever and evermore. Amen and Amen!
