SCRIPTURE
The wicked flee when no man pursues, but the righteous are bold as a lion (Proverbs 28:1 MEV).
WORD OF ENCOURAGEMENT
Standing up boldly for the Lord in today’s culture isn’t always as easy as it sounds. Sure, we all want to believe we are valiant under pressure, but truth is every person has backed down from intimidation in some form or at some point. This is why we need the Lord’s supernatural boldness to rest upon us and is why Proverbs 28:1 says that the righteous are more bold than the wicked. This isn’t because we just possess a stronger personality or confrontational nature. It’s because the Lord will anoint us with a special divine boldness that enables us to declare truth when it seems we are being pushed into a corner. May the Lord’s divine boldness rest upon you today in a tangible way that enables you to speak what is pure and righteous amidst that which is wrong.
