“I will help thee, saith the Lord.” — Isaiah 41:14
This morning let us hear the Lord Jesus speak to each one of us: “I will
help thee.” “It is but a small thing for Me, thy God, to help thee. Consider
what I have done already. What! not help thee? Why, I bought thee with
My blood. What! not help thee? I have died for thee; and if I have done the
greater, will I not do the less? Help thee! It is the least thing I will ever do
for thee; I have done more, and will do more. Before the world began I
chose thee. I made the covenant for thee. I laid aside My glory and became
a man for thee; I gave up My life for thee; and if I did all this, I will surely
help thee now. In helping thee, I am giving thee what I have bought for
thee already. If thou hadst need of a thousand times as much help, I would
give it thee; thou requirest little compared with what I am ready to give.
‘Tis much for thee to need, but it is nothing for me to bestow. ‘Help thee?’
Fear not! If there were an ant at the door of thy granary asking for help, it
would not ruin thee to give him a handful of thy wheat; and thou art
nothing but a tiny insect at the door of My all-sufficiency. ‘I will help
thee.’”
O my soul, is not this enough? Dost thou need more strength than the
omnipotence of the United Trinity? Dost thou want more wisdom than
exists in the Father, more love than displays itself in the Son, or more
power than is manifest in the influences of the Spirit? Bring hither thine
empty pitcher! Surely this well will fill it. Haste, gather up thy wants, and
bring them here — thine emptiness, thy woes, thy needs. Behold, this
river of God is full for thy supply; what canst thou desire beside? Go
forth, my soul, in this thy might. The Eternal God is thine helper!
“Fear not, I am with thee, oh, be not dismay’d!
I, I am thy God, and will still give thee aid.”
