Having Courage

Be of good courage, and he shall
strengthen your heart, all ye
that hope in the Lord. 
Psalm 31:24

I am a blessed man because my hope is in the Lord, and my strength comes from Him alone. And God's Word reminds me to be of good courage, always...

I am thankful, as well, for being able to be the Lord's hands and feet. Through God's grace I am able to help those who are struggling with various problems. For some it is loneliness and hopelessness. For others it is regret and guilt which causes a man's soul to wither and his heart to despair. While other men may be quietly contemplating suicide. No doubt I need the unction and guidance of the Holy Spirit for all this, and to impart words of encouragement to them. As God wants no soul to be lost. Besides, I do not know who will be the next one to hear the gospel and believe it unto salvation.

D.B.
