“I Am” the God Who Carries You

Scripture reading for July 10: Isaiah 46:3-4 “”Listen to Me, O house of Jacob, all the remnant of the house of Israel, who have been borne by Me from before your birth, carried from the womb; even to your old age I am He, and to gray hairs I will carry you. I have made, and I will bear; I will carry and will save.””

I love to read Isaiah because of all the revelations of God that He gives to His people. In this passage we are told that God carried His people, Israel, before their were born. He also carried them while they were in the womb and brought them to safe delivery. Now, God reveals that He is still carrying them in their old age and with their gray-haired heads. He is telling them that He has been with them, is with them, and will be with them no matter what time of life they are in or what circumstances befall them!

God states that He made them and will bear them along life’s path. When they have no strength or ability, He will carry them. When they face enemies stronger than them, He will protect them and save them. God is not far away and aloof from those He created. God is actively involved in their lives. These are comforting truths to those going through trials.

The aging process is particularly challenging with our bodies slowing down and coming under attack from sickness and decay. God tells us not to fear in any time of our lives because as His children, we can trust Him. He is with us for our good and blessing. He can heal our diseases and carry us when we lack ability to carry ourselves. As God asked the Israelites to listen to Him, are you listening and hearing your heavenly Father?

Prayer: Father God, thank You for assuring Your children that You are with us. Forgive us for living in fear of sickness, disease and even old age. We are encouraged by Who You are as our Creator, Sustainer, and the God Who carries us through each stage of life! Amen.

“Fear not!”

Scripture reading for July 29: Isaiah 44-48

Comfort is needed when people have been through the fire of judgment or discipline.  God is a God of all comfort and one of the ways He comforts us is to encourage us not to be afraid.  It is said that the term “fear not” or variations of this phrase is used 366 times in the Bible.  This means that there are enough verses for every day of the year–even leap year!  God knows we need this encouragement.  Let’s look as some things God encourages us to not be afraid of and see our hope begin to rise!

In Isaiah 43:1-3, God tells His people to not be afraid when they pass through the rivers or walk through the fire.  He has redeemed them and they belong to Him.  He promised to be with them and protect them  no matter what the trouble.  He will ransom them and redeem them and gives His word!

In Isaiah 44:1-5, God tells His people to not be afraid for their children!  We can trust the Lord to pour out His Spirit on our offspring and His blessing on our descendants.  When we follow the Lord and live by faith, God takes care of our kids!  He is able to guide them and help them to choose to walk by faith too!  Let’s say “amen” to this promise and live free from fear for our children’s future.

In Isaiah 44:6-8, God encourages His people to not be afraid of the future.  He is their redeemer and is the Almighty Lord who has all power and knowledge.  He knows the future and holds it in His hands.  He is a Rock for those who are in fear of the future.  Trusting in Him can make us truly free!

The last thing we can give up fearing is old age and the weakness and frailty associated with it.  “Listen to me, O house of Jacob, all you who remain of the house of Israel, you whom I have upheld since you were conceived, have carried since your birth.  Even to your old age and gray hairs, I am He, I am He who will sustain you, I have made you and I will carry you; I will sustain you and I will rescue you.” (Isaiah 46:3-4)  Sounds like God can handle us in old age, too, doesn’t it?  What’s there to be afraid of anyway?  We are people of faith and please God by trusting Him in everything!  “Fear Not!”
