OUR LORD DOES NOT LEAVE HIS PEOPLE COMFORTLESS. He is a wonderful Saviour. Wherever He leads us, He will support us; nor shall the difficulties of the way, or the weakness we feel, be too much for us. His hand is stretched out to us, and it is for faith to lay hold of it and proceed, confident of assistance. The arm of His power is the protection of His people in danger, and the strength of His people in weakness. He is a very present help in trouble, a God at hand. Are you weak or in difficulty? Plead His word; it is plain, positive, and sure. He cannot lie. He will not deceive. His strength is made perfect and glorified in your weakness. Fear not, underneath are the everlasting arms. He will uphold you with strength in your soul. He can help, for He is omnipotent. He will help, He has given you His word. Trust in the Lord at all times; yea, trust in the Lord for ever, for in the Lord Jehovah is everlasting strength. That strength is promised to you and will be employed for you in answer to prayer. Why then are you so fearful? Why cast down? He says, "I will help thee!" He hath said, and shall He not do it? He hath spoken, and shall He not make it good?

For Meditation:
Fear not, I am with thee, O be not dismayed!
Lo, I am thy God, and will still give thee aid!
I'll strengthen thee, help thee, and cause thee to stand,
Upheld by my righteous, omnipotent hand.
