A Gift of Hope

 NRS Isaiah 41:10 do not fear, for I am with you, do not be afraid, for I

am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my victorious right hand.

 What's the point?

Are you looking for a gift for the person who seems to have everything money can buy?  Give Isaiah 41:10.  The prophet writes to people filled with despair who are about rea

dy to give it all up.  They don’t think they can go on.  Bible scholars call this a salvation oracle.  It is a recurring form in the Old Testament where the writer offers assurance that God is on our side.

 You don’t have to be afraid.   God is there.  

 If you are facing a

tough life, Dr. Isaiah says, read this passage three times a day.  Use it until the despair goes away.
