Walking in Courage
Devotional
Courage is not the absence of fear—it is the decision to trust God in the face of it. When Joshua was tasked with leading the Israelites into the Promised Land, God commanded him to be strong and courageous. This command wasn’t based on Joshua’s abilities but on God’s presence and promises.
The new year may bring challenges, but courage comes when you anchor your heart in God’s faithfulness. His Word assures you that you don’t have to face the future alone. You can walk forward with confidence, knowing that God is with you and that He will equip you for every step of the journey.
Scripture Reading
Joshua 1:9 – “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.”
