Throughout the Bible, God demonstrates that his desire for us is to have courage. The great thing is, we don’t do it alone. Like the measure of faith we receive when we believe, courage comes – from God – as we trust Him for the outcome. Not just for great exploits written about in ancient manuscripts, but God provides PERSONAL COURAGE for everyday life:
Ø To STAND UP for what you believe.
Ø To say “NO”, when everyone around you is saying, “Yes”.
Ø To FACE your fears knowing that God is with you.
Ø To RESIST the junk that always seems to drag you down.
Ø To GET OUT of a wrong relationship.
Ø To WALK AWAY from your old life.
Ø To BEGIN a right relationship with God through Christ.
God is a God of PERSONAL COURAGE:
Ø To TRY new things you’ve never done before
Ø To SHARE your faith with another person
Ø To GO where others will not go.
Ø To LOVE more than others think is wise.
Ø To SERVE when others want to BE served.
It takes courage to live the life God desires for you and me and those around us. God has it. He wants to give it to you and to me. But we won’t get the courage we need, until we take the steps we must take. What is God asking you to do that makes you afraid? Do you want the courage to do it? Then do it. The PERSONAL COURAGE will follow.
