Courage … Brave Hearts

Scripture

2 Chronicles 19

11 … “Take courage as you fulfill your duties, and may the LORD be with those who do what is right.”

Observation

Are you lacking courage today to do what you know is right? Over and over and over again God tells his people to stand firm and to be courageous and it must be because of our lack of courage that God has to continually remind us to be courageous. We can be courageous because God says that He is willing to fight our battles for us, but He is only going to fight our battles for us if we are obedient.
If you are going to disobey God in your daily life then all of life's battles and struggles are yours to handle on your own. God will stand by and watch you flounder and fail and be defeated if you want to fight life's battles on your own. God calls that kind of living “foolishness”.

If doing what is right gets God’s blessings and doing what is right makes God smile on us then why don’t we do it? Answer: It is because we are foolish!

Application

I will be courageous today and I will also let God fight my battles. I will be obedient to follow His word today.

Prayer

Heavenly Father, help me to be smart and allow You to fight my battles. Help me to be obedient so You will be on my side. Give me courage and help me to stand firm against the Evil one as he tries to get me to sin and disobey. Greater is He that is in me than he that is in this world. You are Mighty and You are able to save and protect me today.
