A Command to Proclaim Courage
Commentators emphasize that this verse is a direct command to speak courage into the hearts of those who are timid, anxious, or quick to despair. The antidote to fear is not wishful thinking, but the firm promise of God's decisive action. As John Calvin notes, God's Word, when proclaimed, has the power to strengthen feeble hands and steady tottering knees because it is backed by God's own power.
