It’s mental and moral strength to venture, persevere, withstand danger, fear and difficulty.
If you’re going to achieve your life goals.. you will need to be strong and to be of good courage.
When Joshua was called to take over from Moses, both GOD and Moses commanded him to “be strong and of good courage.”
When Joshua sent the men to spy out the promised land, he passed the same command to them in Numbers 13:20 to be of “good courage”.
David said the same thing to Solomon when he was passing on the vision of building the temple for the Lord. He equipped him with all he needed to build but told him.. he needed to be strong and courageous.
“And David said to his son Solomon, “Be strong and of good courage, and do it; do not fear nor be dismayed, for the Lord God—my God—will be with you. He will not leave you nor forsake you, until you have finished all the work for the service of the house of the Lord.”
I Chronicles 28:20 NKJV
Paul charges the Christians in Corinth to “Be on guard. Stand firm in the faith. Be courageous. Be strong.”
1 Corinthians 16:13 NLT
I’m saying the same thing to you today..
“BE STRONG AND OF GOOD COURAGE!”
To achieve the things you’ve written on your vision board or vision book, even the things on your heart to do, you’re going to have to be strong and courageous.
Strength isn’t a bad thing. Courage isn’t a bad thing. You’re going to need them to overcome, to push past discouragement, doubt, naysayers, closed doors and imposter syndrome.
