 Be of good courage, and He shall strengthen your heart, All you who hope in the LORD. (Psalm 31:24 NKJV)

I used to be shy and very timid. I did not talk to anyone unless absolutely necessary. I lived life as a turtle tucked inside my shell, believing that no one could hurt me if I remained hidden. Praise God. He has delivered me. He has taught be to be strong and courageous, a bulldog in faith. He has given me a voice. He taught me to write for Him. I write to enCOURAGE you in the Lord and in life. I write to move you from the place of DIScourageMENT, whether it be from weakness, sickness, sadness, depression, anxiety, or timidity…into courage. The Lord repeatedly inspires us through His word to be courageous! The Hebrew word for courage, chazaq, is so rich in meaning.

BE OF GOOD COURAGE…

  • Be Strong
  • Withstand
  • Be Bound Fast
  • Be Gird
  • Hold Fast
  • Fasten To
  • Take Hold Of
  • Be Stuck Fast
  • Be Joined to
  • Be Constant
  • Be Bold
  • Be Earnest
  • Be Established
  • Be Made Strong
  • Be Made Firm
  • Be Repaired
  • Be Restored
  • Be Rebuilt
  • Be Resolute

I know you might get tired of hearing the same thing, but if the Lord encourages me every day to be resolute in Him.  I am going enCOURAGE you to do the same!   Courage is boldly facing our fears. Courage is confidently doing it afraid.

Continuing …

I can enCOURAGE with His Word, but it is God who strengthens. It is God he strengthens me to write. It is God who gives me the boldness to talk to the stranger. It is the Lord who makes me brave to minister and pray for others. It is all Him. We can do all things with Him and nothing without Him. He is the power behind the courage.

HE SHALL STRENGTHEN…

  • Be Alert Physically
  • Be Alert Mentally
  • Steadfast In Mind
  • Be Determined
  • To Be Strong
  • Be Fortified
  • Be Brave
  • Be Bold
  • Be Firm

…YOUR HEART.

  • Your pained heart
  • Your broken heart

ALL YOU WHO HOPE IN THE LORD.

  • All you who wait in the Lord.
  • All you who are patient in the Lord.
  • All you who expect in the Lord.

I enCOURAGE you to be COURAGEOUS, be STRONG and to HOPE IN THE LORD.  Turn your life around; face him head on.  You have an amazing life to boldly live out in Him.

Live. Breathe. Be courageous and strong. Hope in the Lord

  1. I live in Thailand so I receive your emails as “yesterday” in my inbox the next morning. Today the Lord emphasized to me 1 Kings 2:2 the conversation between father and son “Be strong and show yourself to be a man.” The same conversation Moses had with Joshua and God Himself had with Joshua. Here it is again in your email. Thank you. I got it!

    1. Don’t you just love the Lord? He doesn’t just tell us once, He shows Himself to us through multiple avenues. My best friend and I call that living amazed!

      I have always told the Lord if I had nothing to say from
      Him I would say NOTHING. He promises to give us the words to say! I thought I was to share something else yesterday, but I had writers block! Well, this post is what the Lord had me to share. What if it was just for YOU? That’s how much God loves you and I! Praise to our Father!

      Thanks so much for reaching out! You blessed me this morning! Have a great day!
