“Be strong and of a good courage” appears again and again in the books of Moses and Joshua, usually at a threshold — a new land, a new responsibility, a new beginning.
Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the LORD thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest.
Joshua 1:9
The reason given for courage is never self-confidence. It is presence: the LORD thy God is with thee.
Not a spirit of fear
For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.
2 Timothy 1:7
Through the waters
When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee.
Isaiah 43:2
