arise and build

" 13 Be strong and of good courage; do not fear nor be dismayed...
Arise and begin working; the LORD be with you....
Now set your heart and your soul to seek the LORD your God.
Arise and build the house of the LORD God;
to God be the glory.” 1 Chron 22

The Lord be with you, I have heard that in church all of my life...
a hope, a blessing, a greeting... a reality

Courage, like peace is a sign of Christ's presence.

a manifestation of our faith, belief, trust in His promise to always be "here"
I am always safe... to be and to do all that He has asked of me...

Saints of old believed it and changed the world

in the strength of the knowledge
of His will for them...

Be strengthened today dear faithful saint of the Lord

for He who is faithful and true is surer then the sunrise
the God of peace will be with you ~Phil 4:9
with God you shall do valiantly ~Ps 46:7
with God all things are possible for you ~Matt 19:26

SO, Arise and begin working...

set your heart and your soul to seek the LORD your God.
I say, Arise and build the kingdom of the LORD God
and to God be the glory!
