I Will Help You

"I will help you," says the Lord and your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel.

 

Isaiah 41:14b

 

 

Take to heart this promise of God and some encouraging thoughts on it from Charles Spurgeon:

 

The Lord says to each one of us: "I will help you. It is but a small thing for Me, your God to help you. Consider what I have done already. I bought you with My blood. I have died for you; and if I have done the greater, will I not do the less?

 

Help you!

 

It is the least thing I will ever do for you; I have done more and will do more. Before the world began, I chose you. I made the covenant for you. I laid aside My glory and became a man for you; I gave up My life for you; and if I did all this, I will surely help you now. In helping you, I am giving you what I have bought for you already. If you had need of a thousand times as much help, I would give it to you; you require little compared with what I am ready to give.

 

Help you?

 

Do not fear!

 

I will help you!

 

Oh my soul, is not this enough?

 

Do you need more strength than the omnipotence of the united Trinity?

 

Do you want more wisdom than exists in the Father, more love than displays itself in the Son, or more power than is manifest in the influences of the Spirit?

 

Bring your empty pitcher!

 

Surely this well will fill it. Gather up your wants and bring them here–your emptiness, your woes, your needs. Behold, this river of God is full for your supply; what can you desire beside?

 

The Eternal God is your helper!
