Hebrew---To show oneself strong
Matthew
14:25-27--- And in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went unto them, walking
on the sea. And when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were
troubled, saying, It is a spirit, and they cried out for fear. But straightway
Jesus spake unto them, saying, Be of good cheer; it is I; be not afraid.
Sometimes
the supernatural nature of God brings fear to the heart of mere mortals like
us. If you saw a human being walking on the water of a lake at night, you could
be gripped with fear. In everyday life, we do not encounter ghosts or a walking
Jesus on the lake. However, we do encounter many frightening circumstances in
doing and being all God wants us to do and be. Perhaps in your home, work, or
school life, you know you need to bring the knowledge of Christ to someone, but
you are afraid to act. Perhaps in your relationships with friends, you need to
take a stand on a moral issue, but you are afraid to speak the Lord's truth. In
these situations and at many other times, you need to take courage and not be
afraid.
