Isaiah 41:13
For I am the Lord your God who takes hold of your right hand and says to you, Do not fear; I will help you.
First of all, I would like to apologize to all of you left-handed people out there. History has really put you all in a bad place. There were times in history people thought you were from the Devil himself. I would love to remind you that you are still loved by God and He is not slighting you at all with this verse today, I promise.
The right hand was extended by royalty as peace and friendship. If you sat on the right-hand side of the table at a banquet you were thought of as a highly favored guest. Not sure who started this idea, but Isaiah wanted to make a point of that fact when he wrote verse 41:13. God is extending and taking you by the right hand. You are loved and highly favored. You are important to Him. He is extending His peace and love to you. He wants you to know you are going to be taken care of and have nothing to fear. He will help you get through whatever it is you are facing.
Now, I want you to think of God’s position in this verse. He is either standing on your right side, in front of you, or behind you. If He is in front, He is looking you in the eyes. If He is behind, He has your back and if he is at your side, well He must be standing at your right side, which means you have put Him at a favored spot in your life. So who is showing favor now?
Lord, I am so thankful You are always holding my hand through life. ~amen
