Isaiah, Part 89 | Strengthened And Upheld #biblestudy #isaiah

Dr. James Tour emphasizes that Isaiah 41:10’s promise — “Do not fear … I will strengthen you … I will uphold you with my righteous right hand” — provides believers with lasting comfort, strength and assurance whenever life becomes overwhelming. He reminds Christians to trust God’s presence and power rather than giving in to anxiety or fear. --- If you would like to support us in creating more content across our different media platforms, we would greatly appreciate any support you can give.
