Valiantly

With God we shall do valiantly... 

Psalm 108:13

Valor. The strength that enables a person to encounter danger with firmness and bravery.

Faith is not a coward.

With God on our side, we have the victory.  We can do mighty things.  Brave things.

Not on our own strength.  Not on our own self-reliance.

I can do all things through Christ

 who strengthens me.

Philippians 4:13.  

With Jesus, we will always be strong enough, brave enough.

"Though I have many wars to disturb me,

and many cares to toss me to and fro,

yet I am settled in one mind

and cannot be driven from it.

My heart has taken hold 

and abides in one resolve."  

~Charles Spurgeon

From God alone, we draw the courage... we find the wisdom... we gain the strength in order to face the battles that lie ahead.  Before we march forth, may we have but one resolve:  To worship and praise him. Knowing that he goes before us. Knowing that he will fight for us.  He always has. He always will. Surely, he is with you, always. Matthew 28:20.  

As we worship him, fears will subside.  As we worship him, boldness will surface.

What battle are you facing today?

Take heart.  Take courage.  Jesus has overcome the world. John 16:33.  And if his Holy Spirit lives within us, we can face our fears, our anxieties, our failures, our hurt, our pain with a boldness like none other.  We have overwhelming victory through him who loves us- we are more than conquerors. Romans 8:37.

We shall rise above.

And we shall do so, valiantly.
