COURAGEOUS
Today's reading: Joshua 1-3

"I command you--be strong and courageous! Do not be afraid or discouraged. For the Lord your God is with you wherever you go." Joshua 1:9 NLT

Courageous-having the mental or moral strength to venture, persevere and withstand danger, fear or difficulty.

I was told once that courage is 'doing it afraid'.

I take it as it is getting the job done, fully aware of the surrounding circumstances.

It's not staying in the boat.

It's doing what's asked of you when you'd rather stay safe and sound under the covers.

Let me re-phrase that last one...

It's doing what's asked because of Who asked.

For the Christian, it's believing more in God than in what we can see, what we might experience or what others might think.

Are you courageous?
