"I, yes I, am the one who comforts you.
So why are you afraid of mere humans, who wither like the grass and disappear?
Yet you have forgotten the Lord, your Creator, the one who stretched out the sky like a canopy and laid the foundations of the earth. Will you remain in constant dread of human oppressors?
Will you continue to fear the anger of your enemies? Where is their fury and anger now?
It is gone!
...And I have put my words in your mouth and hidden you safely in my hand..."
Isaiah 51:12-16 NLT
God is at work even if I can't see it or understand it...
No matter what, we are safe in His hand.
He doesn't say there'll be no oppression, that people won't be against us for whatever reason. Maybe the enemy is temptation or some other thing within, but whatever is against us, it's temporary.
It won't last.
He's rescued us.
We're safe in His hand.
When it all seems overwhelming, go back to who God is.
