Four Things That Require Strengthening in Life

Yalkut Shimoni on Nach 5:1

Curated by Arthur·Told by Maggid·

"Only be strong and very courageous" (Joshua 1:7). Our rabbis taught: Four things require strengthening, and these are they: Torah and good deeds, prayer, and proper conduct [derech eretz]. Torah and good deeds, from where? "Only be strong and courageous" -- be strong in Torah and courageous in good deeds. Prayer, from where? As it is said, "Hope to the LORD; be strong and let your heart take courage" (Psalms 27:14). Proper conduct, from where? "Be strong, and let us strengthen ourselves on behalf of our people" (2 Samuel 10:12).
