The Charge - Be Strong and Courageous

My son... I had intended to build a house For the Name of Yahweh my God I made preparations I gathered the gold I gathered the silver I prepared the plans But the word of Yahweh came to me: Not you... You are a man of war You have shed blood This house is not yours to build But listen, my son... Yahweh has chosen you. From all my house He chose me From all the tribes He raised me He established my throne He carried me through the battle And now from among my sons He has chosen you Solomon... You will build the house You will build the courtyards You will raise the sanctuary For the Name of Yahweh And He said: “He will be a son to Me And I will be a Father to him.” So now, my son— Know the God of your father. Serve Him with your whole heart. For Yahweh searches every heart And understands every thought. If you seek Him— You will find Him. BE STRONG AND COURAGEOUS! AND ACT! DO NOT FEAR! DO NOT BE DISMAYED! YAHWEH GOD IS WITH YOU! HE WILL NOT FAIL YOU! HE WILL NOT FORSAKE YOU! UNTIL ALL THE WORK FOR THE HOUSE OF YAHWEH IS FINISHED! Be strong... Be courageous... Do not fear... Yahweh is with you. Here are the plans The porch and the chambers The storehouses The inner rooms The holy place The courts of the house of Yahweh The divisions of the priests The divisions of the Levites Every vessel Every lamp Every table Every measure of gold All the work All the service All that must be built All that must be built... And all this— Yahweh made me understand In writing by His hand upon me Every detail Every pattern Every part The pattern... And now— The work is yours. BE STRONG AND COURAYGEOUS! AND ACT! DO NOT FEAR! DO NOT BE DISMAYED! YAHWEH GOD IS WITH YOU! HE WILL NOT FAIL YOU! HE WILL NOT FORSAKE YOU! UNTIL ALL THE WORK FOR THE HOUSE OF YAHWEH IS FINISHED! Father... What if I am not enough? You do not build by your strength alone. Know your God. Seek Him. And He will be with you. Be strong... Be courageous... And act. I will. The work will outlive your hands. Then let my hands serve His purpose. The kingdom is not yours. It belongs to Yahweh. The glory is not yours. It belongs to Yahweh. And all that we have— COMES FROM HIS HAND! BE STRONG AND COURAGEOUS! AND ACT! DO NOT FEAR! DO NOT BE DISMAYED! YAHWEH GOD IS WITH YOU! HE WILL NOT FAIL YOU! HE WILL NOT FORSAKE YOU! Until the work is finished! Until the house is built! UNTIL HIS NAME IS MAGNIFIED! BE STRONG! BE COURAYGEOUS! DO NOT FEAR! YAHWEH IS WITH YOU! BE STRONG! BE COURAGEOUS! DO NOT FEAR! YAHWEH IS WITH YOU! He will not fail you... He will not forsake you... My son... Know the God of your father. I will. Yahweh is with us.
