Courage brother! Do not stumble
Isaiah 41:10
Fear not for I am with you, be not dismayed for I am your God. I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my victorious right hand.
Someone said “Fear not” is a phrase that can be found several times in the bible. Why?
Because fear is the greatest tool used by the evil one. In the verse above God assures us that we need not fear because He is with us. He will strengthen us, help us and uphold us or cause us to excel .
1 Peter 5:8 says: Be sober, be vigilant because your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking whom He may devour.
This is another way of saying “Courage brother, do not stumble” The evil can cause you to wander away from the right path .
Acts 14:2
But the unbelieving Jews stirred up the Gentiles, and made their minds evil affected against the brethren.
The verse above is part of a story.where the early christians go out to preach the gospel . Some Jews around tried to poison the people’s mind by falsely accusing the christians. But they did not give up.
Do not change your lifestyle as a christian because people criticize you. Hold fast to the confession of your faith
God be with you
How can I apply the word to my life?
1. Pray for God to help you remain faithful to Him
Prayer
Meditate on the words of this hymn
Courage brother, do not stumble
Though thy path be dark as night
There’s a star to guide the humble
Trust in God and do the right
Some will hate you
Some will love you
Some will flatter
Some will slight
Cease from man
And look above thee
Trust in God and do the right
Amen
