Happy Monday Friends! This week, take these scriptures and speak them over whatever it is that you might be going through.
Remind yourself and assure your own heart that God is with you and He is the One telling you that you can “Be strong and of good courage”.
God told the children of Israel 11 times to Be strong and of good courage in Deuteronomy, Joshua, 2 Samuel, and 1 Chronicles. I think He was trying to get a message across to them.
Be strong and of good courage, do not fear nor be afraid of them; for the Lord your God, He is the One who goes with you. He will not leave you nor forsake you.”
Then Moses called Joshua and said to him in the sight of all Israel, “Be strong and of good courage, for you must go with this people to the land which the Lord has sworn to their fathers to give them, and you shall cause them to inherit it.
Then He inaugurated Joshua the son of Nun, and said, “Be strong and of good courage; for you shall bring the children of Israel into the land of which I swore to them, and I
Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.”
Then you will prosper, if you take care to fulfill the statutes and judgments with which the Lord charged Moses concerning Israel. Be strong and of good courage; do not fear nor be dismayed.
And David said to his son Solomon, “Be strong and of good courage, and do it; do not fear nor be dismayed, for the Lord God—my God—will be with you. He will not leave you nor forsake you, until you have finished all the work for the service of the house of the Lord.
He would never tell us to “be” something we are not or could not do; never. That is good news! Even if you don’t feel like this, this is who you are and what you have have, all because of Who lives in you! So walk in the strength and the courage of your God who loves you and will never leave you, no matter what!
Remember, you are Loved, you are Righteous, and you are His!
Thank you for the encouragement. I have felt one attack after another, with the biggest one with Bob. I am standing against generational mental illness with him and am praying for answers. Please keep us in prayer.
