Be Strong & of Good Courage
Dr RJ Sing
“And David said to Solomon his son, Be strong and of good courage, and do [it]: fear not, nor be dismayed: for the LORD God, [even] my God, [will be] with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee, until thou hast finished all the work for the service of the house of the LORD.”
The Lord is your strength. In other words, God is your backbone, your strength, courage, firmness and fortitude. It is the Lord’s Spirit that gives you stamina in the affairs of life. He causes you to be tough and effective while others are failing. Strength means so many things. It further means that God causes you to be effective, full of energy, force, intensity and Power.
Because the Lord’s Strength is in your life, you have the advantage. God is your asset, your anchor, your mainstay and security. Because of all of the above your mouth shall show forth His Praise, as He sustains you from day to day. “O Lord, open thou my lips; and my mouth shall shew forth thy praise.” Psalm 51:15.
Always know that God is your strength and deliverance in every situation. He will succor you and be a Tower of Strength to you in adverse situations. The Holy One of Israel and now your Father and He will keep you. “[As for] our redeemer, the LORD of hosts [is] his name, the Holy One of Israel” Isaiah 47:4.
