Strong & Courageous
You could definitely describe Deborah as strong and courageous. She was a woman who knew that her strength came from the Lord and her faith and trust in Him is what gave her the courage she needed to fulfill her purpose.
As Daughter’s of the King we are also strong and courageous. Like Deborah, we have God’s word that He will be with us and that He has already gone before us. We just need to believe it.
Joshua 1: 19 reads, “Have I not commanded you, Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.” That message was repeated several times to Joshua and sometimes we need to hear it over and over again.
That’s the beauty of God’s word, it’s always available for us in our moments of need. When we need encouragement. When we need reminded of God’s promises. When we need reminders of His love and grace. When we need words to express our praise for His faithfulness.
Our strength comes from the Lord. Our courage, the ability to do something that frightens us, comes from the Lord.
Repeat His word as often as you need to. It has been given to us for that exact purpose, to help us, guide us and encourage us. Meditate on it day and night, being careful to obey His commands and then we will be prosperous and successful.
Be Intentional about believing you are strong and courageous.
