Isaiah 51:3-16, Hebrews 13:6, Psalm 70:1-5 ESV
by Kemi Olubiyi
Beloved, do not allow the enemy to steal your joy, for God wants your life to continually be filled with joy and gladness and so learn to put your trust in the Lord regardless of what you may be facing. He is more than able to deliver you from every challenge, situation, that is weighing you down. The word of God says in Psalm 27:1-2 " The Lord is my light and my salvation;whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?" What does this mean? It means God is assuring you that you have no reason to fear the challenges and the oppression of this world because He is your refuge, your protector, the place where you run to for safety. Over and over again in scripture, we see the Lord comforting His people and consistently fighting their battles for them. What a great and mighty God we serve!
In Isaiah 51:12, The Lord goes further to instruct you not to fear man who withers away like the grass in the field. Why? Because Man can never stop or hinder the plan of God for your life, who can annul what He has purposed for you Isaiah 14: 27. The Lord advises again in Hebrews 13:6, that you should boldly confess that He is your helper and you should not fear what mortal men can do unto you and that is why King David in Psalm 70:1-2, ran to the Lord, for help because He knew only the Lord alone can come to his rescue and deliver him from the hands of his oppressors. Beloved, no man, not even the devil himself can harm a hair on your head unless God approves it and we can see an example of that in Job 1:12 when the Lord told satan that he can do whatever he desired to all that Job had, but he must not touch his life and if you do not know the story of Job, you can start by reading the whole first chapter of Job to understand it better.
God wants you to trust Him completely with your life. He wants you to know that He is your deliverer and is constantly fighting your battle for you because you are his daughter. The Lord is your constant companion, who is never far away when you need him and as a result, immediately you call out to Him for help, He comes to your defense and move in that situation according to His divine will. The Lord assures you that no matter what your oppressors try to do, no matter the challenges you face in this life which is usually temporary, He will always be by your side, covering you in the shadow of His hand, while His salvation which last forever is available to you. Isaiah 51:6.
Beloved, God loves you so much and He wants to always be there to comfort you in times of sorrow, distress, pain etc and so He is telling you today to "fear not" when tough times come and they definitely will , do not fear because that is what the enemy wants you to do in order to steal your joy, but instead commit your life into His hands because He is more than able. Learn to trust Him today and allow God to fill your life with joy and gladness which only Him can give.
Shalom.
