Courage from Obedience

Commentators note that Amaziah's courage was not self-generated but was a direct result of his obedience to God's prophet. By trusting God and dismissing the hired army, he was 'strengthened' for the battle. This demonstrates that true courage often flows from a heart that first chooses to obey God, even when it seems costly.
