Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go. Joshua 1:9 ESV
The power to rebound after a set-back requires courage and faith. We need this level of constitution in our hearts and souls for everyday living. The unexpected in our lives will at times bring events that are designed to make us feel defeated and discouraged… but God. When we experience a set-back we may be tempted to stay where we are to nurse our wounds but know this is the time to get-up. The Lord has given us the tools of hope, faith, courage and determination to stand up and try again when we experience failure. This is a time to muster more strength, more courage and more faith for our relationships, our health, our ministry and our work. We may have missed the mark last time but recognize the God in us is bigger than the challenges that we face. We are His children and we are called to be strong and courageous. God loves us and He helps us to learn, grow and mature into our purpose. God is working every detail in our lives together for our good. This promise and assurance gives us the stamina to get up and start again.
And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them. Romans 8:28
