Courageous means to face something dangerous or scary without fear! I am reminded that in the Bible Joshua faced terrifying battles and obstacles. I know I have not faced anything half as hard, but I take comfort in knowing that if God can tell Joshua to be Strong and Courageous in all that he faced, then I must be strong and courageous in all that I face. Being scared limits you. How is God suppose to use someone who is too scared to share the gospel or stand up for what she believes in? So I must be Courageous! I want God to use me for His glory, but He can't if I am scared or cowardly. So if its trying new food, refusing to teach something that I don't believe in or sharing God's love; I must proceed courageously! " Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go." Joshua 1:9
