BE COURAGEOUS (2)
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 put other people’s needs ahead of their own. They know that the Captain must go down with the ship and that being selfless helps to gain the respect of friends and colleagues.
Courageous people understand the importance of trust, honesty, and full disclosure while confronting people who hide behind untruths. They believe that people are willing to make tough decisions if the options are presented to them in an open, honest, and objective manner. They also believe that people should admit their mistakes, learn from them, and move on, rather than waste precious time playing politics.
Courageous people are not afraid of swimming against the tide or challenging the status quo. They stare adversity in the eye; running toward the problem rather than away from it. They know that saying “no” to one idea may enable them to “say yes” to another and that old ways of doing things should not stand in the way of a better solution.
Courageous people step outside their comfort zone to meet the challenges that lie ahead. They know that change is part of life and that some of the greatest advances have been realized by embracing change.
Courageous people follow their intuition. If the information required to make a good decision is not available, they follow their instincts.
Courageous people put their money where their mouth is. They know that it is not enough to talk about doing something. Instead, they act.
PRAYER: Dear Lord, thank you for giving me courage in Jesus’ name, Amen.
