This verse from Isaiah gives us hope. It contains several promises from God that we can take hold of wherever we are in our lives. God promises to always be with us, to strengthen us, and to uphold us. Today, we will look at each of these three promises to understand what they mean for our lives.
The first promise that the Lord gives Isaiah is that He will be with the Israelites. This remains true for us today. In every circumstance and in every situation, we know that the Lord is with us. He will never leave us. Knowing that we will never be forsaken by the Lord helps us to not be afraid. It reminds us that we are always in God's protection and that nothing will happen to us without His consent. Because He is near to us, we have no reason to be afraid.
The next promise is that the Lord will strengthen us. Have you ever felt like you were at the end of yourself? I know I have. Sometimes it seems hard to carry on, especially when life becomes very difficult. However, in this verse from Isaiah, the Lord has promised that He will strengthen us. He will help us continue doing right, even when it seems impossible. In our weakness, He shows us His strength. We can have confidence that if we ask for strength, the Lord will give it to us. We know that when we call out to the Lord, He will give us exactly what we need to carry on and accomplish his will.

His final promise in this verse is that He will uphold us with the right hand of His righteousness. This means we will continue to be covered by the salvation He has given each of us. Our sins have been taken care of once and for all by Jesus on the cross, and we will continue to be held in His salvation because of His promises. Nothing we do can separate us from the Lord.
These three promises show us that the Lord is dependable in all circumstances. We do not have to be afraid because we serve a God who is faithful. He loves us and will never never leave us or forsake us.
