92:  BE A PERSON OF VALOUR AND STRENGTH

Scripture Readings: 1 Chronicles 26:32; 2 Thessalonians 3:13; 1 Thessalonians 5:15

Key Verse: “And of their brethren, mighty men of valour…” — 1 Chronicles 26:32

DEVOTIONAL

Another meaning of virtue is valour. In Scripture, men of valour were trusted with difficult assignments because they possessed strength, courage, skill, and dependability.

God wants believers to develop both spiritual and practical strength.

Many people avoid pressure, responsibility, and difficult tasks. But virtuous people grow through challenges. They become emotionally stable, mentally disciplined, spiritually steadfast, and practically effective.

A man of valour is distinguished by quality and speed. When important work must be done properly, people look for him.

David’s mighty men were not born mighty; they became mighty through loyalty, training, discipline, and endurance. In the same way, excellence is built through consistent stretching.

Do not resist growth because it demands more from you. Virtue often means extra effort, accountability, and sacrifice. Yet this is how God enlarges capacity and prepares people for influence.

Set your heart on becoming strong enough to help others.

Personal Reflection

• Deliver me from fear and laziness.
