Who, Me? Be Strong and Courageous?
Lord, I pray for wisdom for those who need to be reminded to be strong and courageous. In Jesus’ name, amen.
Being strong not only implies being physically able, but strong can also mean having mental toughness.
That’s what it means in the first chapter of Joshua, where God has to tell Joshua more than once what he requires.
He says in Joshua 1:6 (ESV): “Be strong and courageous, for you shall cause this people to inherit the land that I swore to their fathers to give them.”
In verse 9, God repeats his command:, “Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go.”
Being strong and courageous is not just for Joshua. Take action. Be strong and courageous from now on.
Let me know what you think below.
