A Call to Courage

“But Jesus immediately said to them: "Take courage! It is I. Don't be afraid.” (Matthew 14:27)

Does life intimidate you? Do you feel surrounded by those who would do you harm—computer hackers, dishonest business people, and even neighbors who take advantage of you? The easiest thing in this type of environment would be to hide behind the walls of our homes and protect ourselves from the dangers that lie in wait.

But Jesus called His disciples to something different. He asked them to have courage and strength in the face of some very frightening 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—a courage that you will not be able to collect 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 quickly follows.
