“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.” – Isaiah 41:10
I know a young guy who
is like a younger brother to me. He was a believer and always filled with the
thirst to do something for God. Recently he went to Nigeria to attend a Christian
conference. It was his first trip abroad. His travelling fare and stay was
taken care by the people who were conducting the conference. He went with so
much of expectations. Everything went well and the conference days got over. As
he tried to book a return ticket immediately after the conference, he could not
book a ticket.
So he decided to stay
few more days. Most of the people who attended returned back to their places
and so he stayed with only few people. On a particular night, he got a dream in
which few people tried to kill him and finally succeeded. Once he woke up from
the sleep, his heart was filled with fear and he could not come out of the
dream thoughts.
He wanted to tell the
dream to someone but as he doesn’t know anyone there, he kept everything in his
heart itself. As he was frightened, he went to attend a prayer meet there.
Nearly 5 people gathered for prayer and as the prayer was going on, God spoke
to him through the person who was praying at that time.
God revealed the
entire dream to the one who was praying and then God spoke to him saying, “Fear
not, I am with you.” When he heard the entire dream revealed by God to someone
who doesn’t know that at all, he got astonished and at the same time God’s
promise comforted him a lot. Immediately the fear that gripped him went away
and he returned to India in peace.
Even today you might
be filled with a great fear about your future. You might fear that you will
lose everything in your life. Do not worry. Today Jesus Christ promises you
that He is with you and He will strengthen you.
God is with you. He
will strengthen you. He will help you and uphold you. What a blessing! He will
be with you and do all things that you need in your life. He will take care of
your job. He will take care of your studies and research. He will take care of
your family life. In everything, God will help you by giving you His strength.
You will not fail because God is with you.
My dear young friends,
do not get discouraged. Do not fear about your future. Your future will be
filled with God’s blessings. Jesus Christ is with you. He will guard you and
protect you. He will bless you richly. He will show the way in which you should
walk and He will fill you with His wisdom. He will never leave you. You will be
led by God.
