Courage—specifically, the ability to confront fear, uncertainty, and intimidation.

Our focus today is inspired by the powerful quote: “Courage, the ability to confront fear, uncertainty, and intimidation.” This resonates deeply, especially in a world filled with so many unknowns and challenges.

One of the most well-known verses on this topic is Joshua 1:9, which says, *“Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.”* This verse is a clear reminder that true courage stems from knowing we are never alone.

In 2 Timothy 1:7, Courage is not just about facing external challenges, but also about mastering our inner fears through the strength that God provides.

Apply It

1. Acknowledge Your Fear:** The first step is to recognize and accept what you're afraid of. It's only by facing our fears that we can move past them. Psalm 56:3-4 reminds us.

2. Seek Strength from God: Lean on God for strength and guidance. Isaiah 41:10 assures us.

3. Take Action: Courage is about taking steps forward, even when it's difficult. James 1:2-4 encourages us.

4. Surround Yourself with Support: Find a community that supports and uplifts you. Proverbs 27:17 reminds us.

Hebrews 13:6 puts it beautifully: *“So we say with confidence, ‘The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid. What can mere mortals do to me?

Stay strong, stay courageous, and make today count!
