Be Strong! Be Courageous! You Got This!

We can be strong and courageous knowing the Lord our God is with us wherever we go. God has commanded us in His word to be strong, vigorous and very courageous. If He’s telling us to be this that means we can. Sometimes it’s a matter of we may not feel like being strong and courageous. We walk by faith not by sight, and we aspire to be led by our spirits and not by our flesh (2 Corinthians 5:7). It is a participatory action that brings our spiritual well being up to snuff. There is no fear in mature love. Love actually drives out the fear in our hearts and minds when we act by faith not by our emotions (1 John 4:18). We should have God in our lives to the degree we are acknowledging Him in all of our ways so He can direct our paths towards victory (Proverbs 3:5-6). The command of God is for you to be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might, not your might which is limited (Ephesians 6:10). Things get easier when your perspective is from the Lord’s view. Get the Lord’s view by coming up higher in your quality time with God. Come up higher with your commitment to pray more consistently. Come up higher in seeking first the kingdom of God and His righteousness so all of your concerns and needs are taken care of by the Lord (Matthew 6:33). Fight the good fight of faith to be with God on another level and you’ll be strong, courageous, and victorious in everything your hands touch.
