I Am with Thee.

By Angelia J. Edmunds

“Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God. I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.” Isa. 41: 10.
When the cold winds of adversity blow, blighting all your hopes in this life, “Fear thou not.”
When affliction falls heavily, blighting the lovely buds of your household, and perhaps the ruthless hand of death aims his poisonous dart at you also, then remember, He has said, “I am with thee.”
When friend after friend is taken from you, and you are left homeless and a stranger in this wide world of sin, “Be not dismayed; for I am thy God.”
When temptations surround you, and the conflict is severe because of your weakness, “I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee.”
When agony intense agitates your bowed frame, and the heart-strings quiver with anguish; when your sins like mountains rise before you, and you fear and tremble lest you never can be victorious, hear Him say, “Yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.”
When you feel to cry in bitterness of soul, O Lord, have mercy upon me, a sinner, having hardly confidence to lift your eye to Heaven, then be assured that, “Like as a father pitieth his children, so the Lord pitieth them that fear him. For he knoweth our frame; he remembereth that we are dust.” Ps. 103: 13, 14.
