Be strong and courageous.
Follow God.
This turned out to be two-fold. In faith and in courage, Go, leave behind what you have known and follow the Lord as he calls you to go forth. Remembering who He is as a faithful God.
Even in the face of adversity, struggle and trials, those are the moments that your faith is deepened and strengthened, as He is glorified above the storms and anything that may seem gigantic in appearance.
Seek [pursue] first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, the rest will be added. He will take care of the rest, but your task is to believe in Him, love and follow Him.
James 1:2-4 Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, 3 because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. 4 Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. Gen 12:1-3 The Lord had said to Abram, “Go from your country, your people and your father’s household to the land I will show you.
2 “I will make you into a great nation,
and I will bless you;
I will make your name great,
and you will be a blessing.[a]
3 I will bless those who bless you,
and whoever curses you I will curse;
and all peoples on earth
will be blessed through you.”[b]
Mathew 28:19 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit
