Courage

I've been reading a book for the third time at least!  Erwin McManus, Stand Against the wind.  I believe it is like a super hero book that can help you unleash you inner Hero!  Courage means that you have chosen to allow your gut feeling to make the decisions of that time.  God says he will never leave you or forsake you.  What does that say to you?  You will be tested, but...God will be there. God told Joshua that no one will be able to stand against you.  That doesn't mean they will cower before him, no they will try and confront you.  Be bold and courageous, meaning, you will constantly be fighting. You will not be able to walk by faith and live in fear. Faith as we all know takes,....no, requires action!  Faith without works is dead, we already talked about this.

What are we feeling compelled to do but we have chosen the path of least resistance?  Complacency in our lives makes us comfortable and lack faith.  We will not be bold or courageous. We will live a life that is unfulfilled.  Look at that word ful-fill.  If you choose to take action, your life can and will be FULL FILLED! Is that the meaning of a blessed life?  Is that the definition of my cup runneth over? Take heart, be bold, be courageous!
