Be Valiant

Take courage therefore, and be very valiant. (Joshua 1:7 Douay-Rheims)

God, give me the courage to pick up the sword, and fight the fight. Don’t let me lose faith, drop to the floor and rest against the castle wall,  thinking the battle is over. Walk up as a great Leader, kick the bottom of my sandal, and say, “Get up, my sister, and pick up that sword. See? The enemy is about to be routed, and you will take part of the victory and enjoy the spoils.”
