Oh To Be Wise Meditations

I've commanded you to be strong and brave. Don't ever be afraid or discouraged! I am the LORD your God, and I will be there to help you wherever you go. Amen. Oh LORD what is courage and how do I get it? Yes, when I am afraid, I am to trust in you. We are to always fear God and be prudent in everything we do. But many things we need to have courage and God wants to be our strength and courage. I will fear but I can trust that God has not given me a spirit of fear but of love, power, and a sound mind. Meditate the words to this song by Fernando Ortega, Take heart my friend.

Take heart, my friend, we'll go together

This uncertain road that lies ahead

Our faithful God has always gone before us

And He will lead the way once again

Take heart, my friend, we can walk together

And if our burdens become too great

We can hold up and help one other

In God's love and God's grace

Take heart my friend, the Lord is with us

As He has been all the days of our lives

Our assurance every morning

Our defender in the night

If we should falter when trouble surrounds us

When the wind and the waves are wild and high

We will look away to Him who ruled the waters

Who spoke His peace into the angry tide

He is our comfort, our sustainer

He is our help in time of need

When we wander, He is our Shepherd

He who watches over us never sleeps

Take heart my friend the Lord is with us

As He has been all the days of our lives

Our assurance every morning

Our defender in the night
