COURAGE
Scripture
Reading: Joshua 1:1-9 NKJV
Devotional:- “Only be strong
and very courageous, that you may observe to do according to all the law which
Moses My servant commanded you; do not turn from it to the right hand or to the
left, that you may prosper wherever you go” (V. 7)
A major virtue
in the life of every conqueror is the virtue of courage. This is an act of
having faith in one’s ability to face a challenge or situation. A timid can
achieve nothing. That is why the word of God said, God has not given us the
Spirit of timidity (2 Timothy 1:7). It is our meditation upon the testimony of
the word of God that births courage in us (1 Samuel 17:36, Joshua 1:8).
To be
encouraged is to locate back your courage. You need to know the source of
courage to succeed and overcome in this wicked world. Those who do not know the
way of courage will be defeated in every battle of life. In the scripture we
read today, God commanded Joshua to be courageous. He showed him the way to
courage, which is by meditating in the word of God. It is the information we meditate
on that can instill courage in us to act.
Courage is a
conviction in our mind of the ability in us to conquer. It is a product of
information in which we put our confidence. It is a conclusion in our heart
about our strength. That is why our courage should be in the word of God. That
is the only sure word (2 Peter 1:19). The ability of the Holy Spirit is in you.
You only need to fan it to flame by meditating the word of God (2 Timothy 1:6).
And your courage will grow again. Peace
PRAYER: Lord,
encourage me by your word
“COURAGE IS A
DRIVE IN OUR MIND TO PUSH US TO ACTION”
