Be Strong and of Good Courage

Motivational Monday!

“Be strong and of good courage, do not fear nor be afraid of them; for the Lord your God, He is the One who goes with you. He will not leave you nor forsake you.” Deuteronomy 31:6

       The words of God will live forever and ever. What He said to His people then, He is saying to us now, if we would just follow Him.

      These words are repeated over and over when He was speaking to the Israelites because they needed encouragement, they needed to know that God was with them regardless of

Have no fear when things go wrong around you

Therefore we will not fear, Even though the earth be removed, And though the mountains are carried into the midst of the sea; - Psalms 46:2

When we hear of earthquakes, hurricanes, and tsunamis we sometimes become very afraid out of fear for our lives. The word of the Lord is telling us that no matter what goes on around us, we will not fear.
Sometimes the earth does not need to be moved nor the mountains to be carried into the sea for us to feel like our world is falling apart. It's in those times whether literally or figuratively that our world is falling to pieces, the Lord is saying do not be afraid.

Throughout the word of the Lord, He constantly reminds us to have faith in Him, do not fear, do not be dismayed, and trust in Him, no matter how bleak the situations in life may seem. It is in those times when the people did not fear and truly relied on Him that He was able to perform miracles in their lives, take them from their shattered lives, and into a bright future.
Let this scripture be the foundation we lay for our lives, that we will not fear no matter what.

I have no fear the Lord is my all I need

The LORD is my light and my salvation; Whom shall I fear? The LORD is the strength of my life; Of whom shall I be afraid? Psalms 27:1


David said that the Lord is his light - where there is light, no darkness can penetrate through. He is our salvation - The Lord our God is able to save us from anything that tries to harm us. The Lord is our strength of life - He keeps us alive, and He gives us strength to sustain us.

 
Knowing all of this now, who shall you be afraid of? If you know what the Lord is to you, why should anything or anyone make you afraid? When you know the Lord, truly know Him and who He is to you based on scripture and the many blessings He alone has bestowed upon you, holding on to those truths far outweighs the fear we may feel at any point in our lives. Who God is will last forever, can we say the same about momentary fear?

 
David knew who the Lord represented to him because he had a personal relationship with God and personal experiences with God. Let us draw nearer to the Lord and replace the fear etc. with the knowledge of Him. That alone is enough to banish any fear in our hearts.

God bless you and keep you. If this message has been a blessing to you, share it with a friend. Have a great day!
