Courage

"Wait for the Lord; be strong, and let your heart take courage; wait for the Lord!" Psalm 27:14

Courage isn't the absence of fear, it's acknowledging it and persevering. Believers are called to stand firm on our beliefs and convictions, regardless of what the world says. It takes courage to share your faith, to tithe when you have a financial need, and to trust God with your whole life- not just parts of it. As the saying goes, with great risk, there's a great reward. When we live according to the word of God, we can never go wrong. Be bold and courageous for The Lord because he's crazy faithful. Happy Thursday! 

"Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.” Joshua 1:9

1 Corinthians 16

"Be on your guard; stand firm in the faith; be courageous; be strong. Do everything in love." 1 Corinthians 16:13-14

Words to live by. Although the Bible was written ages ago, I'm convinced the writers knew #thestuggle. Lol Some verses just jump off the page/screen and speak directly to my situation. I've committed this verse to memory for when I'm frustrated, annoyed, nervous, anxious, and doubtful. When we speak things enough, we actually begin to believe and internalize them. What are you speaking over yourself? Happy Wednesday! Can you believe we've finished another book in the Bible?! Craziness.
