"Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged." -Joshua 1:9
Isn't that fascinating? God has commanded us to be strong and be courageous. God has commanded us to go forth boldly to proclaim His name. God has commanded us to live life abundantly. Those who are fearful, who complain, who worry ... STOP! There is no need, for God is above and out of the reach of all of that and assures us that we can be too, if we heed His commands. It's a direct command from God to be strong and courageous, so go be strong and courageous, will ya? Because God says so!
