Courageous


God knows where you are at.  Look at Deuteronomy 31:6 - Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the Lord your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you.”

We recently hosted at my church the Men of Honor Simulcast. It came from the church in Georgia that made the movies Courageous and Fireproof. Here are some of the notes I took on being courageous.

What do you do in the face of adversity/trouble?
- don't run from it
- face it with God's power
- God is faithful - stand firm - Job 5:7: Yet man is born to trouble as surely as sparks fly upward.  
This is a call to courage!

What is courage? – You exercise this when you are scared, and comes from the presence and power of God in your life.

The world gives us fake love - fake battles - fake leadership - fake spirituality -

All of us need to love, fight, lead, and worship like Jesus

Be wise today and always – let God make you courageous.
