Courage is essential for completing the race we're in. It is a recurring theme in the concept of courage that it empowers us to finish what God initiated.

Sometimes, the courage exhibited by the heroes of faith in the Bible may have seemed foolish or antagonistic to others. Take, for example, Daniel, who openly defied the King's decree (Daniel 6), or Paul, who asserted his Roman citizenship to his captors when they were about to release him from prison (Acts 26). Even Jesus Himself, on multiple occas…

We often hear people say, "Fear not" or "We have nothing to fear" or "Fear is not from God." However, these statements, on their own, lack a basis in biblical principle. In the world we live in, the enemy's main mission is to kill, steal, and destroy. So, guess what? We do have many things to fear, and ignoring those fears is actually an act of cow…

As we take a look at what Courage is, we see a great example in the Bible through the story of Joshua.

And 2 chapters later God said, “Then command Joshua: Give him COURAGE. Give him strength. Single-handed he…
