Being strong and courageous

Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord will be with you wherever you go. Joshua 1:9

Being strong and courageous takes encouragement, which is what the passage of Scripture is, such an encouragement. Knowing the Lord is with you, always fighting for you and in your corner, helps you have a positive outlook. How do we be brave when our world makes us want to flinch and pull back? Setting the Lord and the Word as your guide each day, prepares you for being strong and resilient, having courage and confidence to move forward. There are new frontiers to our mission to be reached. If you can commit to the purpose God is calling you to, you find yourself being responsible and having courage.

Thanks Jesus, your help enables me to be strong and courageous, ready for all the good you have planned.
