“BE COURAGEOUS!”
Isaiah 41:10
“Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.”
Today’s Scripture was one of the first verses I ever memorized when I was a small boy in Camas, Washington. In times of trial we need courage to face what might be. It is interesting that we often fear more of what might be than what actually is.
God has given His promise to us that He is always there beside us. In the Old Testament, He was the hope of all who would trust Him. He gave His word of promise through His prophets and those who trusted in Him, those who looked down the ages of time, and through the eyes of faith, saw the promised Messiah, Jesus Christ our Lord.
The present reality is that God is with us in the power of His Spirit, and it is His desire that we get busy while there is still time. The Kingdom of Heaven became a reality when Jesus came to earth to establish His power and control over Satan. It was on the cross that Jesus gained complete control and Satan was defeated.
Satan is the master of deceit and we are all too easily deceived. Rather than claiming the victory over a defeated Satan through the blood-bought victory of Jesus, we have played the part of fool, taken Satan's poison fruit and believed the lie. BE COURAGEOUS!
Blessings dear hearts. May God richly bless you as you bless others by your words and actions!
