Being a culture so drenched in media, many forget what real courage looks like. Courage is standing in faith while face to face with that fear or struggle trying to blow your house down. The storm blowing can be financial, relationships, health or other. Still it takes courage to stand in faith, but it’s faith which keeps us anchored properly to the Rock.
I was witness to tremendous acts of courage recently. A man laid his pride down and simply asked for prayer. He was angry. A woman laid her pride aside to admit she was giving herself over to fear. We often hide our emotions and struggles rather than let anyone help us confront them. These acts of courage and faith impacted me mightily.
Deu 31:6 Be strong and of good courage, do not fear nor be afraid of them; for the LORD your God, He is the One who goes with you. He will not leave you nor forsake you.”
Rom 1:17 For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, “THE JUST SHALL LIVE BY FAITH.”
