All Anyone Really Has to Do


1 Chronicles 19:13 KJV
Be of good courage, and let us behave ourselves valiantly for our people, and for the cities of our God: and let the LORD do that which is good in his sight.

Joab is facing a formidable enemy. He has battle forces before him and behind him. He lays out his strategy, divides his armies and then gives them this instruction.
  • Be courageous
  • Fight valiantly and
  • Leave the results to the Lord

That's all any man really has to do. If we would bring ourselves to these three keys we could navigate in life pretty fairly.
  • Do what we must to do (that's courage)
  • Do it to the best of our ability (that's valor) and
  • Leave the results in the hands of God (that's faith)

    God is so good to grant us His Word.
    God is merciful in the comfort, peace, and
    love He gives through His Word.

    This was a wonderful reminder to obey
    the truths so freely given.

    PS Mom said she had never heard this passage preached from this perspective. She was very glad
    to hear you preach for the first time and she said she was blessed by the preaching.
