But the Lord is trustworthy—and He will strengthen and protect you from the evil one. 2 Thessalonians 3:3, TLV
CHAZAK!
When our Heavenly Father exhorts us to be strong — to have courage — it is because He knows who He is, not how great we are.
He knows we are dust (Psalm 103:14), but we are His children — thanks to the sacrifice of His Son Jesus.
The evil one was ultimately defeated when Yeshua cried out, “It is finished!” And when He rose from the dead, to walk and eat and give His final instructions to His disciples.
When Jesus went home to His Father, the Holy Spirit was given to us. We always carry part of Him with us. We have access to Him at all times. Our weakness is where He will show Himself strong (2 Corinthians 12:9).
Fear not. CHAZAK! Our God is trustworthy and faithful.
