Deuteronomy 31:6 Be strong and of good courage, do not fear nor be afraid of them; for the Lord your God, He is the One who goes with you. He will not leave you nor forsake you.

Have you ever thought why the bible uses ‘of good courage’ when talking about courage? From the beginning when the Children of Israel had to go it alone, God has been encouraging them.

He continues to encourage us in everything righteous. We continue to be encouraged by what others do and say as well.

But God gives the courage to stand up and do things. How can it be anything other than good courage when it is coming from God?

Be strong and stand up where God teaches you to stand up. Trust Him to give you the courage you need to do it right.
