Courage for This Place
3 min read · Courage
Joshua 1:9
Haven’t I commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Don’t be afraid. Don’t be dismayed, for Yahweh your God is with you wherever you go.”
Joshua faced a responsibility larger than his confidence. God's word did not promise an easy road or ask him to deny fear. It located courage in companionship: God would be with him wherever he went. Courage can look like one truthful conversation, one wise boundary, or one necessary beginning. You do not need to feel fearless before taking that step.
Today’s prayer
Present God, meet me where courage is needed. Keep me from panic or pretense, and help me act with wisdom today. Amen.
