EMPOWERING LIVES WITH PURPOSE:
“Be Strong and courageous! Do not be afraid or discouraged. For the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.” (Joshua 1:9)
Courage is not the absence of real-life challenges because adversity comes continuously, and our adversary wants to take us out at the first bit of any bad news. And being strong doesn’t mean we will always”feel” strong.
But…the good news to both of these statements is this, God is with you! Always. You can be courageous.
When fear arises, and it often does, cast it away. How do you do this?
With short declarations that shout truth!
“God, You are here with me, even in this place of fear,” I say this to myself when fear rises in me. It works.
Don’t be immobilized by the “what ifs” that may happen as you go through each day if you’re in a struggle. You can be bold and courageous, knowing God’s Word says, He will be with you wherever you go!
GOD is faithful, and you can TRUST Him at His word! Your history with God and knowing His Word gives you the courage and the strength plus confidence from Him to be bold!
Be bold today, and then walk out in faith to do what God has called you to do, sister, and do it confidently!
