Showing Courage In Your Life


Life can be very intimidating. Between natural disasters and people who would do us harm, sometimes it seems the easiest thing would be to hide behind the walls of our homes and protect ourselves from the dangers outside. But Jesus called His disciples to something different. He asked them to have courage and strength in the face of some very scary situations.

When Jesus walked on the water toward them as they sailed across the sea, He asked them to believe that this ghost-like figure was really their Savior. He asked them to go out in pairs and preach in His name. And finally, He asked them to go to Jerusalem with Him for His final days.

The opportunities that God wants to bring your way will take courage. He is preparing some amazing chances for you to be His voice and hands. But each one will take courage; courage
that you will not be able to gather without Jesus’ strength. When faced with one of these terrifying opportunities, we have to decide whether to trust Jesus and accept His strength. Once we have done that, then courage will follow quickly.
