"Be strong and let your heart take courage, all you who hope in the Lord." (Psalm 31:24)
Those two words, "be strong," occur about 45 times in Scripture. They are often followed by "and be of good courage" or something similar. It is clear that we need to be reminded of this truth on a regular basis. In the face of daily stress, personal challenges, and a rapidly changing society we need to hear "be strong" and "take courage" in the hope that God will do what is ultimately best for us.
I know that some of you are facing huge challenges that are far above your ability to withstand. And for the rest of us, our "smaller" challenges may seem like mountains. Take courage and be strong today: "Do not tremble or be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go." (Joshua 1:9)
Blessings in all you do today!
