BE COURAGEOUS (1)
TEXT: ISAIAH 54:4
VERSE OF THE DAY:
_“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”- DEUTERONOMY 31:6._
Courageous people believe in themselves. They know who they are and what they stand for. They have strong values, recognize their personal capabilities, and are confident in meeting the challenges that lie before them. Courageous people are passionate and purposeful. You can sense courageous people when they walk into a room; they have a bounce in their step, maintain a positive outlook, and are comfortable in their own skin.
You always know where courageous people stand. They are passionate about their beliefs and values and have consistent and predictable behaviour. They don’t blindly follow the crowd, give up in the midst of adversity, or change their opinion unless the change is supported by a strong factual case.
Courageous people know the difference between right and wrong. They don’t just talk about honour; they live it every day by following the letter, as well as the spirit of the law. They are trustworthy, objective, fair, and tolerant. They also stand up against injustice, backing their words with action.
Courageous people are not deterred by adversity or afraid of what people may think of them. Courageous leaders motivate people with personal charisma, expertise, integrity, and respect rather than by using their position or authority as a crutch. Courageous people are tough but fair. While they may ask others to achieve the impossible, they ask others only what they are willing to do themselves.
PRAYER: Dear Lord, thank you for giving me courage in Jesus’ name, Amen.
