Our Daily Bread Today 10 April 2026 Devotional Message
Topic: Safe in God’s Hands
Bible in a Year: 1 Samuel 15-16, Luke 10:25-42
Bible Verse: Do not fear, for I am with you . . . I will uphold you with my righteous right hand. Isaiah 41:10
Today’s Scripture: Isaiah 41:8-14
Insight: Much of the Old Testament contrasts the false gods of the nations with Yahweh, the one true God of Israel. This section of Isaiah’s prophecy is a classic example of that. In Isaiah 40, God said, “With whom, then, will you compare God?” (v. 18) and notes that pagans “look for a skilled worker to set up an idol that will not topple” (v. 20). When God says to His people, “I will uphold you with my righteous right hand” (41:10), He’s underscoring the stark contrast with the idol that requires a craftsman to secure “the idol so it will not topple” (v. 7). Despite the challenges facing God’s people, He would rescue them. He says, “I am the Lord your God who takes hold of your right hand and says to you, Do not fear; I will help you” (v. 13). When we face trials, He’ll rescue us too. We’re safe in His hands. By: Tim Gustafson
I shut my eyes as the amusement park ride creeped higher—trying to ignore all the creaking coming from this wildly popular ride I was on. When it stopped for a moment, I made the mistake of peeking and was horrified to see the plunge we were about to take. I closed my eyes again and screamed the whole way down. That childhood memory still makes me shudder.
Sometimes in life it can feel like we’re falling further and further with no one to catch us. But when life seems chaotic and out of control, we can find comfort in knowing that God is with us. As believers, we know that God dwells in us through the Holy Spirit. We can speak to Him and be guided by Scripture.
God wanted to assure the Israelites that He would “catch” them even in the midst of their “fall” of rebellion. He said through the prophet Isaiah, “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). God wanted them to know He would help them through their trials (v. 13). How encouraging it must’ve been for the Israelites to know that God hadn’t abandoned them even while they were living as prisoners in a foreign land.
When our life feels like it’s out of control, we can take courage knowing that God is there to help us. We’re safe in His loving and mighty hands. By: Nancy Gavilanes
