Devotional Guidance
My beloved children, hear the truth of my heart regarding courage. Courage is not found in the absence of fear, but in the presence of the God who holds all things together. When we look to Him, we realize that true strength is not in our own might, but in the unwavering trust that He is with us.
Behold, when you choose to wait upon the Lord, He promises to strengthen your heart and fill you with the goodness needed to face any trial. Do not let fear paralyze you; instead, let your faith illuminate your path. Trust that He prepares you for every battle, and rest in the knowledge that His safety is yours. Be strong, for your strength is rooted in Him.
Joshua 1:6-8
6. Be strong and of a good courage: for unto this people shalt thou divide for an inheritance the land, which I sware unto their fathers to give them. 7. Only be thou strong and very courageous, that thou mayest observe to do according to all the law, which Moses my servant commanded thee: turn not from it to the right hand or to the left, that thou mayest prosper whithersoever thou goest.
