If you have courage you can handled anything. GOD want us to live with courage not fear.

Joshua 1:1-9

1After the death of Moses the servant of the Lord, the Lord said to Joshua son of Nun, Moses’ aide: 2“Moses my servant is dead. Now then, you and all these people, get ready to cross the Jordan River into the land I am about to give to them—to the Israelites. 3I will give you every place where you set your foot, as I promised Moses. 4Your territory will extend from the desert to Lebanon, and from the great river, the Euphrates—all the Hittite country—to the Mediterranean Sea in the west. 5No one will be able to stand against you all the days of your life. As I was with Moses, so I will be with you; I will never leave you nor forsake you. 6Be strong and courageous, because you will lead these people to inherit the land I swore to their ancestors to give them.

7“Be strong and very courageous. Be careful to obey all the law my servant Moses gave you; do not turn from it to the right or to the left, that you may be successful wherever you go. 8Keep this Book of the Law always on your lips; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful. 9Have 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.”

The principles in this passage will take you through any situation.

Fear is an uneasy feeling, a feeling of dread – an internal alarm that goes off inside of us when we are facing imminent danger, feel threatened or helpless to avoid or change it.

Courage is the quality of mind or spirit enabling us to meet danger, face opposition, or the challenges of life with fearlessness, calmness and firmness.

We have a choice we either face the difficulties fearfully or courageously.

GOD says “For God has not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.” 2 Timothy 1:7

GOD wants us to be triumphant, He wants us to be courageous and bold whatever we face in life and He made us promises to make it possible for us to face anything and everything and still be standing when the battle is over.

The base of our courage is our relationship to LORD Jesus Christ. When we face a difficult task we need courage. We have a right to claim the courage. In difficult times, dangerous times we look up, keep the focus on the word of GOD.

Reading, believing, observing the Word of GOD day and night. We ask for GOD’s help, we need His help, we acknowledge He is our GOD and has right to tell us what to do and how to do it. I commit myself to be obedient to you.

Read it absorb it so you are thinking like GOD thinks. He know what we will face, how difficult the challenges are and ‘be careful all that I tell you to do’. It requires to be courageous and bold. It’s the meditation on the word that gives us courage, trusting GOD, boldness and whatever GOD requires from us.

GOD will change your life, GOD is ready to give you His best, are you ready to trust Him for it? Be strong and very courageous.
