Today I want to share one of the devotionals from my book Devotions for Working Women that touched my heart when I read it because it reminded me that God is always there for us. Enjoy!

God Helps Us through Grace by Faith
#161
Isaiah 41:10 (NLT)
Don’t be afraid, for I am with you. Do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you. I will help you. I will uphold you with my victorious right hand.

Those are God’s words for His chosen people of Israel. We must grab hold of those promises as well because we are Abraham’s seed by faith. Galatians 3:14 (KJV) says, “The blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.”

If you have accepted and received Jesus in your heart as your Lord and Savior, then you qualify by faith to receive all of God’s promises to His chosen people. You are a chosen one too.

Read this verse again and capture the depth of this promise. God the Father, the Creator of all, promises to help you, to lift you up when you’re down, to strengthen you when you are weak, and to uphold you with His victorious right hand. What else can you want? He is the answer to all of your problems, hurts, desires, and needs.

It is difficult to believe these promises when you are going through difficult times in your life. But God can help you and get you through. He will give you supernatural grace to withstand the attacks of the enemy and win the fight. It is a special and unique grace to deal with every situation—one at a time. “My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness” (2 Corinthians 12:9 KJV).
