Have Courage!

Greetings! Joshua 1:9 Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go. Man! Check that out. Are you catching everything said there? Even though God is talking to Joshua here. That statement is for all of us. I remember when I was a young Christian how when I was going to a Church function or someplace where I knew there would be alot of Christians, I would wear my T-Shirts and Hats that had all the Bible Vs and Slogans on them. But if I was going out in public to eat or Wal-Mart. That I wouldn't be caught dead with one on. Why? Not because I'm ashamed of my God, but because I was afraid of what people might say or think of me. God is telling us right here. There is nothing in this world or of this world we should fear or be afraid of. Because He is with us all the time and that we are to have courage and not be discouraged. See I was being afraid of people and what they thought. But today I have found courage in my God. I am not afraid to show where my loyalty is today. And that is to my Father in Heaven. So today, as you are getting ready to go some where and you pick up that Jesus shirt, but then you pick another one, because of where you are going. I'll be the first to tell you, You are a Wimp! Put that shirt on, go out into this world proclaiming who your God is and how he has changed you from a Wimp to someone who is strong in Jesus Christ. Have Courage, because God is always with you, He always has your back. Don't you know that, no weapon forged against you will prevail, and you will refute every tongue that accuses you. (Isaiah 54:17) So Have Courage in your God today. For he is stronger than anything this world can throw against you. HABD!
