Be strong and brave!
God's message to us is specific and very clear: "Be strong and courageous."
No matter what you are going through, no matter how hard the test is or how deep into the abyss you are today, remember that they are only shadows of death, but God has given us life and today He urges us to regain strength, look up and move forward.
How can we do it? Let us always remember that His word is encouragement and where He tells us to set our sights on things above and not on things on earth, difficult circumstances, trials and moments of anguish are from here on earth, but our citizenship is from heaven where God does not wait to live eternally with Him.
See, I command you to be strong and courageous; do not be afraid or dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.
Joshua 1:9
