Sometimes It Takes Courage To Get You Through

  

Therefore the flight shall perish from the swift, and the strong shall not strengthen his force, neither shall the mighty deliver himself: Neither shall he stand that handleth the bow; and he that is swift of foot shall not deliver himself: neither shall he that rideth the horse deliver himself.  And he that is courageous among the mighty shall flee away naked in that day, saith the Lord.

Amos 2:14-16

And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.

Matthew 10:28

  

    But rather seek ye the kingdom of God; and all these things shall be added unto you.  Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom.

Luke 12:31-32

Quote of the Day

“Courage is going from failure to failure without loosing enthusiasm.” – Winston Churchill

Today’s Thoughts and Insights:

Courage is the capacity and ability to stand in the face of opposition and or almost certain defeat and to proclaim: I am a winner, and over comer and a conqueror through Christ Jesus.

It takes courage to stand for who and what you believe in even when those around you ridicule and demean.

Courage is the art of facing down the giant in your life without flinching or wavering

Courage is standing tall when the world wants to beat you down.

Courage is knowing who you believe in and being persuaded that He is able to keep; and to do exceeding and abundantly above and beyond anything you could ever dream or imagine.

Courage is living for the Lord and proclaiming the might wonders of His glorious acts to anyone and everyone who is willing to listen.

Courage is more than hope and the greater of faith put into action.

It believes the impossible; expects the improbable and experiences the fullness of the potential that God has for you.

So are you Courageous?

Today’s Prayer

Father, holy and awesome is your name and your glory shines more brightly than the brightest star in the sky: and you are amazing.  Help me to be more courageous and faithful in my service for you.

“Courage is the price life extracts for granting peace.”

Amelia Earhart

“This is my cry: This is my song,

You are my guiding light, when the way is unknown;

And when the sunny skies, turn shades of gray,

I’ll stay close by your side: As you lead the way.

Jesus lead on I will follow:

Jesus lead on, let your love light the way… “

-  Lyrics from ‘Jesus Lead On’ by Brent Helming
