“Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous! Do not tremble or be dismayed, for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go.””
Joshua 1:9
“Then David said to his son Solomon, “Be strong and courageous, and act; do not fear nor be dismayed, for the LORD God, my God, is with you. He will not fail you nor forsake you until all the work for the service of the house of the LORD is finished.”
1 Chronicles 28:20
“Be strong and courageous, do not be afraid or tremble at them, for the LORD your God is the one who goes with you. He will not fail you or forsake you.””
Deuteronomy 31:6
“For He Himself has said, “I WILL NEVER DESERT YOU, NOR WILL I EVER FORSAKE YOU,” so that we confidently say, “T HE LORD IS MY HELPER, I WILL NOT BE AFRAID. WHAT WILL MAN DO TO ME?””
Hebrews 13:5-6
Thanks, Crissy! I’m also reminded of 1 Corinthians 16:13:
“Be on your guard; stand firm in the faith; be courageous; be strong.”

Yes, it’s a command to be….. strong and courageous. It’s not a request. We need to obey it. God of the Bible wants his people to be the people of strength and courage. Without him we can’t do anything, however with his strength, we can do everything. Halleluyah 🙌🤗 Great post 👍

There are many practical ways, Crissy, that this assurrance from GOD can be manifested and it reminded me on your post of a famous cricket player turned missionary for JESUS. This was probably in CT Studd’s mind all along. When encountering missionaries from false doctrines, this should also be in our minds. One good thing in this pandemic is they don’t knock on your gate, ring the bell, or tap on your windows too.

I hadn’t thought of that. You are right, they are not knocking on windows or doors.
Thank you for your comment my friend.

Just like the electrolux guy in the 80s advertisement, Crissy! So many of them before this new normal. I always ask if they believe that JESUS is GOD and that is their cue not to persuade me and leave.

Yes! That’s a good way for them to take off quickly. We have encountered many cults in out street ministry and is heartbreaking to see how blind they are.
Thank you for sharing Clark.

True, Crissy, no natter how much you explained that JESUS is GOD, they are always firmed and so lost in the way to GOD the FATHER for not acknowledging His Son, JESUS CHRIST. Thank you too, Crissy! Good night.

Amen! As Deuteronomy 31:6 proclaims: our Lord is always with us, just as He was with David and later Solomon.
