“Be strong and courageous. Do not
fear or be in dread of them, for it is the Lord your God who goes with you. He will not leave you or forsake you.” (Deuteronomy 31:6) NIV
How do we live this truth?
If I assent to the truth that God goes with me and will not leave nor
forsake me, then I can act strong and courageous. Then I will refuse to be afraid of anybody or
any circumstance. Living faith shows itself through action. Isaiah teaches that faith that is firm is also
patient. (Isaiah 28:16) Jean Pierre de
Caussade writing in ABANDONMENT TO
DIVINE PROVIDENCE writes: “If our
faith is strong we shall be confident that we lack nothing..” He asserts the truth of Psalm 23:1 and
Hebrews 13:5-6.
Obedience of faith means obeying and acting because we
believe. I am strong and courageous because
I believe that God is with me and will not leave nor forsake me.
