Be Strong & Courageous

Inspiration from Scripture

I remember asking God one day, many years ago, “Who am I in the Bible, Lord?” And He clearly whispered to me in the middle of my devotion…”Joshua.” Ever since that day, Joshua 1:9 has become one of my life Scriptures. Do you have a “life” Scripture that you can hold onto when tough or fearful times enter your life?

I also want to mention here before I close this post, that not only does the Lord tell us to be courageous, He also tells us to be strong. Meaning to be strong in Him. Because He will be our strength when things are tough. And He will be our protector in times of need. He can be trusted.

Actually, it has a lot to do with trusting Him. Whether it’s through trusting Him for tough circumstances or for people. He wants us to trust Him. Philippians 4:19 says, “But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.” And Proverbs 29:25 says, “Fearing people is a dangerous trap, but trusting the Lord means safety.” In other words, it’s like He’s saying, “Go forth. I’m here with you. I will supply. I will protect. You are safe with Me.”
