Day 129 of 365
Courage in Fear
Deuteronomy 31:6
Deuteronomy 31:6
“Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the Lord your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you.”
Insight
Courage isn't the absence of fear; it's action despite fear. God repeatedly commands courage throughout Scripture - not because His people weren't afraid, but because they were. Joshua faced intimidating enemies. David confronted a giant. Esther approached the king. All were afraid. All acted courageously. You will face fear. The question is: will you let it paralyze you, or will you act courageously knowing God is with you?
Reflection
What are you afraid to do that you believe God is calling you to? What would courage look like - taking action despite the fear?
