Be Strong

“Be strong and take heart, all you who hope in the Lord.” (Psalm 31:24 NIV).

The Bible is full of admonitions to “Be strong and take heart, all you who hope in the Lord.” Let’s look at a few of them.

“Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the LORD your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you.” (Deuteronomy 31:6 NIV).

“Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go.” (Joshua 1:9 NIV).

“Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or discouraged because of the king of Assyria and the vast army with him, for there is a greater power with us than with him.” (2 Chronicles 32:7 NIV).

“Be on your guard; stand firm in the faith; be men of courage; be strong.” (1 Corinthians 16:3 NIV).

Then, one of my personal favorites is 1 Corinthians 15:58: “Therefore, my dear brothers, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain.” (NIV).

Wow! Aren’t you ready to face the day now?
