Inner Strength
Be on your guard; stand firm in the faith; be courageous; be strong. 1 Corinthians 16:13
God encourages us to be strong and of good courage even in the moments when life doesn’t make sense. It may not be making sense or adding up at the moment, because in front of you is the Red Sea and behind you is a vast army. Even in these moments you need to be strong and courageous when the Lord is telling you to stand still and see His salvation.
Joshua had to be strong and courageous to lead people to the promised land. You need to be strong and courageous when the land God has been promising you is occupied by giants. You need His strength to grab the sword and fight for what is yours. You need His strength to go into the land and drive out the enemies. You need strength to see victory even in the battles of life.
In order to do this, we must have a determination to do God’s will in our Hearts. We must have a meditation upon God’s Word in our Heads. We must have an activation of God’s work in our Hands. When you`re strong and courageous, you`re able to trust God at His word and His promises, even when the waves are roaring.
When we do these things, the giants in the land before us don’t stand a chance!!!
