CHAPTER

I Will Hold Thy Right Hand

The promise goes on in verse 13 and 14. For i, the lord, thy god, will hold thy right hand, saying, unto thee, fear not. I will help thee. Fear not thou worm. If i will turn to god, if he is my foundation, it's a firm one for my faith. And i can trust that god will carry me through these last days of trouble and gloom and help me find better things on the other side.

But those are all so far in the past. I'm not worried about the roman legionares marching through utah and conquering no, i guess we have other enemies, and there is a spiritual babylon. But the same promise holds true. If i will turn to god, if he is my foundation, it's a firm one for my faith, and i can trust that god will carry me through these last days of trouble and gloom and help me find better things on the other side. The promise goes on in verse 13 and 14. For i, the lord, thy god, will hold thy right hand, saying, unto thee, fear not. I will help thee. Fear not thou worm. Jacob and ye men of israel, i will help thee. Saith the lord and thy redeemer, the holy one of israel. I know you feel like a worm and you almost got squished on the pavement by the assyrians. I didn't let that happen. Even when he says, i will hold thy right hand, two possibilities here, ecause which hand is he holding our right hand with? We know it's all right, but what about his? If it's if he's facing us, then it's probably going to be right hand to right hand. And the right hand was the hand used to make covenants. Here's the covenant hand. So don't worry. I made a covenant with abraham, isaac and jacob, i've made a covenant with you to be your god, if you will, but be my people, and let's shake on it so you can trust me. The other possibility is, let's walk this path together, and i'll hold your righthand now, if we're walking together, now it's no longer right hand on right hand. It's the lord's left hand holding our right hand. But i think ther's soe beautiful imagery there too, because that leaves his right hand, which is not just the covenant hand, it's also the combative hand. Is the one that i reach for my sword with. Most people are right handed, right? It's why the benjamites had such a crazy advantage when they were leftis right south paws. Thay could still fight and sling. Amazing. Ayway, if god's hand, right hand, is available to fight, because his left hand is the one that's holding us.
