2 Samuel 10:12
Be of good courage, and let us be courageous for our people, and for the cities of our God, and may the LORD do what seems good to Him.
Let us be brave in our behavior and in accepting whatever outcome God determines to be best. It is better to fight in faith and die faithfully than to fight timidly determined that God must deliver your enemies since you suited up for battle today. Be like Beowulf: heroic and humble, willing to attempt great feats for God's glory and willing to receive defeat by God's providence.
In truth, the Geats’ prince gladly trusted
his mettle, his might, the mercy of God!
Let wisest God, sacred Lord, on which side soever
doom decree as He deemeth right.
-- Beowulf
