The good king Jehoshaphat was, like most people, not perfect. But he did manage to try and lead his people, the Israelites, back to God after a time of rebellion. He appointed judges throughout the land to try and make sure God's justice was maintained in his kingdom. The verse above comes from the king's instruction to these judges.
It's not usually easy to do the right thing. It can be intimidating, downright frightening, especially in the world we live in. But God has this verse to tell you as you go about doing the right thing: "take courage," and "the Lord will be with those who do what is right." You're not doing it alone - you've got God on your side. Whatever makes it difficult is nothing in comparison to God, so never be afraid to do the right thing!
Take courage!
