Summary
The dictionary defines a coward as someone who lacks the courage to do difficult, dangerous, or unpleasant things. In doing this, the coward enslaves himself to fear. On the other hand, God tells His people to “be strong and courageous. This is a command, not a suggestion. You might wonder how could God expect us not to be afraid—and the answer is both simple and profound: it is because He promises to strengthen us and be with us. It’s His strength that helps us not to be afraid, not ours, and it’s available to every Believer!
