Strong and courageous

Joshua 1:9 Be strong and courageous.

Are you feeling tired? Perhaps a little run down? Do you need a holiday? Are you counting the minutes till you leave work? Things a little dreary?

They say that change is as good as a holiday, and here’s what has to change: your attitude. Yes, that’s right, you get no sympathy today. Read another blog. If you feel like whinging and complaining there are plenty of outlets on the internet that give you the space. But if a good swift kick up the backside is what you need, read on.

Be strong and courageous. Notice it doesn’t say feel strong and courageous. Most days most people are driven by their feelings. I feel tired, so I’ll act tired and I’ll complain about being tired. If you want to be amazing you can’t work like that. You are commanded to be strong and courageous. There is no option, it is what you are meant to be. Well, I guess there is an option. You can be strong and courageous or whimpy and pitiful. Be strong and courageous. It is what you were born for. Don’t live by your feelings, live by who you are to be. You are strong and courageous. Take courage, take strength in that.

Be amazing.
