Episode 410 - Show Notes
- Lately, during my prayer time, I hear the voice of God calling me to be courageous. I believe God is looking for courageous Christians. He’s looking to his followers to be people who live out their convictions with courage. He’s searching for those who will trust God with a bold faith. He is looking for men and women who courageously share the gospel message with others.
- The dictionary defines courage this way: the ability to face and deal with a dangerous or difficult situation.”
- You and I are no stranger to these feelings of anxiety during our times of transition. Perhaps as you look ahead right now you feel lots of uncertainty about your future.
- Fear is often our natural response. We don’t have to think of all our reasons to be afraid; fear comes instinctively. But being strong and courageous doesn’t come naturally.
- Where do we get courage? Faith. Courage is an act of faith, because the courageous person acts on what they believe to be right, despite the threat of real or apparent danger.
- Simply put, we gain courage when we focus on Jesus, we remember his presence and his promises. “I can do this because he is with me. I can face this because he has promised strength and wisdom.”
- Having courage doesn’t mean what you are doing is easy. Having courage means you do the right thing anyway.
- Here’s how I pray…God give me wisdom to know what to do, and the courage to do it.
Joshua 1:7 - “Be strong and very courageous. Be careful to obey all the law my servant Moses gave you; do not turn from it to the right or to the left, that you may be successful wherever you go.”
2 Timothy 1:7 tells us that God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of love, of power and of a sound mind.
