Day 84 – Be Strong and of Good Courage

‘Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the Lord thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest.’ Joshua 1:9

God is speaking to your heart saying be strong and of good courage. In day to day living when faced with challenges and problems, courage is the ability to keep on going forward in the midst of difficult situations, not allowing yourself to be overwhelmed by the challenges that you are confronted with. Learn to live your life courageously, learn to fight through life’s difficulties in faith.

Courage is only possible when you have taken time to build your faith by the words the Lord has spoken about your situation. God spoke to Joshua (verse 8) ‘this book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night’. These words where the preface to what God was going to tell Joshua next, and that was to ‘be strong and of a good courage’. 

Do not allow fear to dominate you but rather give attention to the word of promise and you will live through life courageously. May God grant you grace as you face today courageously. God bless you, and have a great day. Amen.
