Called to Courage

Today's devotional reading comes from Joshua 3:1-17

"The Lord told Joshua, today I will begin to make you a great leader in the eyes of all Israelites. They will know that I am with you just as I was with Moses." Joshua 3:7

The Lord will make us great in what He calls us to do.

Sometimes it takes great courage to do what God has called us to do! How do we get this courage?
First, we must accept His calling and meditate on His word. Only then will we know how to apply it to our own situation.

We must be obedient to Him. We become closer tho Him the more we follow His ways.

We must trust in His promises!

Remember your past victories, you will gain strength from these. When we remember how the Lord gave us courage before, it helps to build us up and give us more courage for the task ahead.

The Lord wants us bear witness for Him! We must have courage to do so in times, as our world can be very cruel and heartless.

How do you tell others of your love for Christ? How do you tell of the resurrection and His promises of forgiveness? Have you had to dig down deep for the courage to share your faith? Where has He called you to testify that took more courage than you ever knew you had?

Lord,

Give me the courage to fulfill your calling for me. I trust in you Lord and I know with obedience, you will make me a great leader for your cause. Thank you, for teaching and guiding me where you want me to be Lord.

It's all for your Glory, in Jesus' name, Amen.


-Glory be to God
