Courage.

WE must have courage in God. It is a sin to be timid and fearful in his service. The power of the Almighty is pledged to uphold and sustain those who faithfully serve him. We may well distrust our own strength, and our own capacity for the work. But our own sense of weakness is no excuse for timidity and distrust. God is the strength of his people. We have only to act in him in order to be mighty with the strength of Omnipotence. We may well fear to sin against him. But when he bids us do any work, it is wicked to distrust the support of his mighty arm.
Courage in the Lord is a noble quality of soul. The Spirit of God will enable the most timid and helpless to put on courage if they will only ask it at his hands.
