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
