God's Right Hand

"So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand." Isaiah 41:10.

Many verses throughout the Bible speaks of God ruling, upholding and delivering us through His right hand. It dawned on me that stated in the Apostle's Creed is that Jesus ascended into Heaven and sits on the right side of His Father, God. It is through the life of Christ in the New Testament that fulfilled this promise in the Old Testament of God's right hand. Through our righteous Christ we can be strengthened and carried through the most fearful circumstance we face. As 2 Timothy 1:7 states, "For God did not give us a spirit of timidity, but a spirit of power, of love and of self-discipline." This power carries the name of Jesus Christ.
