Be Strong Take Courage

“Be strong. Take courage. Don’t be intimidated. Don’t give them a second thought because God, your God, is striding ahead of you. He’s right there with you. He won’t let you down; he won’t leave you.”

Deuteronomy 31:6 (MSG)

Dear Ones: Be Strong Take Courage! These words were spoken to the Israel by Moses who was about to die. They were getting ready to enter the Promised Land and Moses would not be with them. He reminded them that they were God’s people, and God would not leave them nor forsake them.

 Moses’ words are like the Lord’s words recorded in Hebrews 13:5b, “For He Himself has said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you.” The Lord takes care of His own. He will not let you down and he won’t leave you as an orphan. Let these words encourage you today. Don’t let the current situations that you face intimidate you or discourage you.

May you be strengthened by His words to you today. Don’t focus on the darkness, but keep your eyes on Him. Let your hope be in His ability to save you as He goes before you to clear the way. Have an overcoming day in the Lord: Be Strong Take Courage! I bless you in Jesus’ name.
