Do not fear, I help you!

Do not fear, I help you. This is the promise that the Lord made to the people of Israel, giving him the understanding that he would help and sustain him from everything he needed, the people of Israel had moments where other peoples came to attack the people of God.

Sometimes we worry too much about situations that, in reality, are beyond our control, we even think that if we do not intervene directly then something bad can happen; Perhaps co-workers will turn against us, or neighbors, even those we thought were friends, something failed and it seems that everyone is against us; or someone "makes war on you" for anything. We forget, perhaps, that God knows us perfectly and if we really trust Him as that strong, great and Almighty Father; so, He himself will make us victorious, no matter what situation we are going through, or the misunderstanding there is, everything will become clear and in our favor, God is the one in charge of everything that happens with his children.

But despite everything that happened with the people, God never turned away from him. Israel had moments where her voice was ignored, but when the powerful hand of God came, then the people humbled themselves before God, but God in their infinite mercy forgave him.

Behold, all who are angry with you will be ashamed and confused; Those who contend with you will be as nothing and will perish. Isaiah 41:11

We must bear in mind that the almighty God will always be with us, even if we fail him, because

Many wanted to see the people destroyed and thought that this would happen, but God came to his aid and helped and destroyed everyone who faced the people of Israel.

You will seek those who contend with you, and you will not find them; they will be like nothing, and as a thing that is not, those who make war on you. Isaiah 41:12

We can say that God spoke and fulfilled his promises, we know that since the people left Egypt had problems, but these problems came from their own disobedience, since there were times where Israel forgot God.

Because I, the Lord, am your God, who holds you by your right hand, and says to you: Fear not, I help you. Isaiah 41:13

Remember that the same God who was in those times is the same as now, He has not changed, he is a God of mercy, who will keep us from all deceit of the enemy, will sustain us in bad times and fight for each of us. Let us be faithful to God and his mercy will always be with us. So, instead of fearing people, we fear God, let us strive to obey him in everything and let him govern our life, our house and everything that concerns our life; because the Almighty is our help.
