All About GOD - Growing Relationships with Jesus and Others
ALL ABOUT COURAGE
Lest we forget! :)
Deuteronomy 20:1 The Lord your God is with you!
Psalm 27:1 The Lord is my light and my salvation; so why should I be afraid?
Isaiah 41:10 Don't be afraid, for I am with you. Do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you. I will help you. I will uphold you with my victorious right hand
Joshua 1:9 Be strong and courageous! Do not be afraid or discouraged. For the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.
True courage comes from God and in understanding and knowing that He is stronger than our enemies and He will use that strength to help you.
FACING CHANGE?
Genesis 46:3-4 Do not be afraid to go down to Egypt, for I will see to it that you become a great nation there.
Change may be a part of God's plan for your life. If so , hold onto faith that what you are headed for will bring you joy beyond your greatest expectations.
Exodus 4:13 But Moses again pleaded, "Lord please! Send someone else "
To experience fear is normal. To be paralyzed by it however, can be a indication that you doubt God's abilitu to care for you through the changes.
2 Sammuel 4:1 When Ishboseth heard about Abners death at Hebron, he lost all courage, and his people were paralyzed with fear.
If your courage comes from another person you will be left with nothing when that person is gone. When you trust God you will have strength to go on no matter what the circumstances around you.
COURAGE TO ADMIT MISTAKES
2 Samuel 12:13 Then David confessed to Nathan, ""I have sinned against the Lord." Nathan replied, "yes,but the Lord has forgiven you."
To admit our mistakes and sins is to open the door to forgiveness and restoration of relationships.
ARE THERE CONSEQUENCES FOR LACK OF COURAGE?
Luke 23:13-25 ...and their voices prevailed. So Pilate sentenced Jesus to die as they demanded.
Standing up for what is right can get you in hot water from corript people. But failing to stand up for what is right will get you in trouble with God.
PROMISE FROM GOD
JOSHUA 1:9
I COMMAND YOU; BE STRONG AND COURAGEOUS! DO NOT BE AFRAID OR DISCOURAGED. FOR THE LORD YOUR GOD IS WITH YOU WHEREVER YOU GO.
MAY THE PEACE OF OUR LORD BE WITH YOU ALL THIS DAY AND ALWAYS!

Haha! You cannot run ! You cannot hide but YES you can fly on the wings of an eagle!! Someone once told me I should NEVER question God when I first became Born Again and unfortunately I believed them. I feel it stunted my growth for how are we to learn if we don't ask questions and seek the answers from the source who gives us life and breath. Now I ask Him so many questions that I sometimes feel He may see me as that little chicken hawk in the cartoon Foghorn Leghorn. THANKYOU FATHER for being ever patient with me and teaching this child! :)

I will start writing soon of my own testimony of how God has helped me overcome fear. It is one that I tell everyone I meet now. It is an amazing story of a chain of answered prayers of which each answer brought more questions and a certain amount of doubt. But the Lord came through in some pretty amazing ways. It has taught me very well that fear would have surely kept me from a lot of dreams God had for my life. That life belongs to Him. Still sometimes though when He clearluy shows me where He wants me to go , I will look up and say" You're joking , right". And yes, sometimes I find myself in a bit of trouble with the world but God is good and always finds my way! :)
