Isaiah 41:10

What Does Isaiah 41:10 Mean?

God gives five amazing promises in this one verse: He says don’t be afraid, don’t be dismayed (which means don’t panic or feel hopeless), I will strengthen you, I will help you, and I will hold you up. That’s five promises packed into one breath! The phrase “righteous right hand” was a picture of God’s mighty power holding you so you don’t fall. He’s not just watching from far away – He is right there, holding on to you.
