No Need To Muster Up

“This is my command…be strong and courageous! Do not be afraid or discouraged. For the LORD your God is with you wherever you go.” Joshua 1:9

Are you wondering how on earth can you be strong and courageous when you feel tired and afraid? When I’m up against a difficult and scary situation I’m learning that I cannot muster up the strength and courage needed. It just doesn’t work if I alone try to muster up a feeling of energy and fearlessness. But when I go to God and His Word, I find myself resting in His truth. Gracious God promises that no matter what we’re going through and wherever we go, He is with us step by step…no matter what. That promise empowers tired, scared hearts to bold, courageous hearts!
