Jan22

Last Saturday morning I stopped at a local McDonald’s for breakfast and on the wall was a picture of a lion with a definition of courage at the bottom: “Courage is not the absence of fear but the strength to do what is right in the face of it.”

It reminded me of another definition I had come across years ago: “Courage is fear that has said its prayers.”

I don’t know if this will connect with anyone today, but I will just raise the question and leave it with you: “Is fear holding you back from doing anything that you feel is the right thing to do?” It may have to do with a situation at work, something you know you should address within your family or something that you need to clear up or start doing in your personal life. But if God brings something to your mind during the moments you are reading this, I suggest you say your prayers and then make courageous plans to address the issue.

Joshua 1:9, “Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.”
