Isaiah 51:12-13 (NKJV)
12 “I, even I, am He who comforts you. Who are you that you should be afraid Of a man who will die, And of the son of a man who will be made like grass? 13 And you forget the Lord your Maker, Who stretched out the heavens And laid the foundations of the earth; You have feared continually every day Because of the fury of the oppressor, When he has prepared to destroy. And where is the fury of the oppressor?
God is introducing Himself to you as the One Who comforts you. When you come to know God, you come to know who you are. When you understand that this God Who comforts you is your Maker, the Eternal God, you can overcome the fear of men whose lives are transient. Your Maker is the One who also streched out the heavens and laid the foundations of the earth. This knowledge will bring you out of bondage and the oppression of the enemy into the freedom of knowing and serving God. He will look upon you favourably. He does not oppress but he will cover you with the shadow of His hand, put His words in your mouth and fulfil His purpose in making you, you!
You have been loosed from captivity and oppression. Arise! Yield yourself into the hand of your Maker. He knows you well, so come as you are and get to know your Maker.
