The Sweetest Words in the Bible

…I will… – Isaiah 41:14

Oh, the “wills” and the “shalls:” they are the sweetest words in the Bible. “I will help thee.” When God says “I will,” there is something in it, brethren. The will of God started worlds into existence; the will of God made nature leap from chaos; the will of God sustains all worlds, “bears the earth’s huge pillars up,” and establishes creation. It is God’s “I will.” He lets the world live; they live on the “will” of God; and if He willed that they should die, they must sink as the bubble into the breaker, when its moment has arrived. And if the “will” of God is so strong as that, may we not lay a great stress upon it here-“I will help thee? There is no doubt about it. I do not say I may help thee peradventure. No; I will. I do not say that possibly I may be persuaded to help thee. No; I voluntarily will to help thee. ‘I will help thee.’ I do not say that, in any probability, ninety-nine chances out of a hundred, it is likely I may help thee. No; but without allowing any peradventure, or so much as a jot or tittle of hap or hazard, I will.” Now, is there not strength in that? Indeed, my brethren, this is enough to cheer any man’s spirit, however much he may be cast down, if God the Holy Spirit does but breathe upon the text, and let its spices flow abroad into our poor souls, “Fear not, I will help thee.”

And now ought not we who love the Saviour let our eyes run with tears, and say, “O Thou blest Redeemer! Thou needst not tell us Thou wilt help us, for we know Thou wilt. Oh do not suppose that we doubt Thee so much as to want to be told of it again; we know Thou will help us; we are sure of it; Thy former love, Thine ancient love, the love of Thine espousals, Thy deeds of kindness, Thine everlasting drawings, all these declare that Thou never canst forsake us.” No, no; “I will help thee.” ~ C.H. Spurgeon
