Be Strong and of Good Courage

By: Robert A. Searles

"Be strong and of good courage: for unto this people shalt thou divide for an inheritance the land, which I swear unto their  fathers to give them. 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. This book of the law shalt not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate  therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: For then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have great success. Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the Lord thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest. "Joshua 1:6-9

"Be merciful unto me, O God: for man would swallow me up, he fighting daily  oppresseth me. Mine enemies would daily swallow me up: for they be many that fight against me, O thou most high. What time I am afraid, I will trust in thee. In God I will praise his word, in God I have put my trust; I will not fear what man can do  unto me." Psalm 56: 1-4

"For I am persuaded, that neither death, or life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord." Rom 8: 38, 39

"But we have this treasure in  earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us. We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not  in despair; persecuted, but not  forsaken; cast down, but not  destroyed; always bearing about in the body the dying of  the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body. for we which live are alway delivered unto death for Jesus' sake, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our mortal flesh. So then death worketh in us, but life in you.  We having the same spirit of faith, according as it is writtem, I believed, and therefore have I spoken; we also believe, and therefore speak; Knowing that he which raised up the Lord Jesus shall raise up us also by Jesus, and  shall present us with you. For all things are for your sakes, that the abundant grace might through the thanksgiving of many redound to the glory of God.  For which cause we faint not, but though out outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day.  For our light  affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory.  While we look not at the  things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for  the things which are seen are temporal; but the  things which are not seen are eternal." 2 Cor 4: 7-14

"Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be  able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having your loins girt  about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness: and your feet shod with the preparation of  the gospel  of peace; above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye  shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. And take the  helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all  saints." Ephes 6: 10-18

"For I am now  ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand. I have fought a good fight,  I have finished my course, I have kept the faith. Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness,which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day; and not to me only, but unto all them that love his appearing." 2 Tim 4: 6-8
