“So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand." - Isaiah 41:10
It’s amazing how much strength we find when we come together. Left to ourselves, we often reach the limits of our talent, skill, and stamina. Somehow, though, when we stand shoulder to shoulder, we experience renewed strength. Runners run faster and longer when they run with a partner. Whether pursuing a hobby, a fitness goal, or learning a new skill, we typically find greater success and joy through the power we find in joining with someone else. The Lord tells us not to fear the days ahead. Why? Because He is with us! And if He is with us, there is strength, power, and hope for a new day!
