Courage is the inner strength
that enables you to stand against the odds of life with a determination to
reach your goal. Satan brings negative circumstances your way so as to
discourage you, his aim is to reduce your courage in order to stop you from
taking steps towards your goal in life. Most people that are stagnated today
are simply victims of discouragement. This is why you must know how to keep boosting
your courage or to keep encouraging yourself in the Lord. A time came in the
life of David when he would have been overtaken by discouragement but he
encouraged himself in the Lord; he boosted his courage. As a result, he was
strengthened to pursue the enemy and recover all that he and his men had lost
(1 Samuel 30:1-18).
