Psalms 31: 24

Be of good courage, and He shall strengthen your heart, all you who trust in the Lord.

--

This verse is interesting to me because in my mind, it seems like it should be the other way around: God will strengthen your heart, and then you will have courage. But as often happens when dealing with the Lord God Almighty, this verse is inverted and God commands that we take courage, and as we are doing that, God will strengthen our hearts. As we trust in God, he will enable us as we strive to be of courage.

I'm trusting in this promise.
