Be Strong & Courageous

E. Keith Hassell

Life is full of challenges that can leave us feeling weak and afraid, but God's Word calls us to be strong and courageous. Drawing from Deuteronomy 31, the promise is clear: God goes before us, He will not leave us, and He will not forsake us. This world is broken by sin, and trials are real, but God is actively working to restore blessing to His people. Courage is not the absence of fear. It is the decision to trust that God is bigger than whatever we are facing. Like David standing before Goliath, our strength does not come from our own ability but from the God who equips the willing. Whatever storm you are in right now, God has already declared your destination. You are not going under. You are going to the other side.
