Because of Jesus, we can be courageous in the face of tribulation. His power is greater than our enemies, His sovereignty rules over our battles, His promises reside in our hearts, His forgiveness ensures our futures, His presence empowers our lives, and His grace provides for our needs. Therefore… Be bold to speak the truth in His love. Be courageous to face enemies with His love. Be encouraged in tribulation by His love. Take heart today, Christian… your tribulation will not last forever; but your joy in Jesus will.
