Courage For Difficult Times

Joshua 1:9

God wants us to live courageously.
The word courageous is used about 6 times in the Bible.
There are about 114 instances in the Bible of being courageous.
When a word is used more than once in the scriptures it is worth paying attention to.

The end times we are in will demand your courage.
We are in times the Bible informs that the hearts of men will fail them because of the things coming on the earth.
Luke 21:26
We have come into times when people will loose courage for living.
This year alone, Corona virus has cast a very dark shadow on the world and changed a lot of plans.
There are those who committed suicide because of the change Covid-19 brought upon the earth. They didn't have the courage to accept the changes and go through isolation.
In addition to Covid-19, there are many other issues, vices,  and diseases humanity is having to deal with. Only God knows what is to come.

It will take some degree of courage to live successfully in today's world.
It requires courage to serve God at a time the love of many towards God is waxing cold.
Matthew 24:12
It requires courage to go against the tide and flow of an ungodly world.
Psalm 14:2,3
You will need courage to be who you should be in this world and live how God wants you to live in a world that sees the things of God as irrelevant to the present time.

You need courage to be a true and effective Christian.
You will need courage to run your race and fight the good fight.
2 Timothy 4:7
You will need courage to confront your fears and defeat your Goliath.
You need courage to fight a good spiritual and mental warfare.
Ephesians 6:12

Courage is needed to compete and complete in life.
Courage is needed to be an effective leader in life, since everyone is a leader in one capacity or another.
It takes courage to rise up when you've been knocked down in life.
Proverbs 24:16
It takes courage to make decisions others do not believe in that you know is the best decision for you.
It takes courage to believe God when others around you do not see the need for it.
2 Chronicles 20:20

God's Spirit in His capacity as the Spirit of might supplies you with courage, bravery, persistence and strength.

Your Father Hears

Matthew 6:5,6 Prayer should be directed to the Father. Jesus showed this when He taught His disciples the Lord's prayer. It should be a great comfort to you to know that the creator and God of all hears you when you pray. This should encourage you to pray and keep praying. In our day to day relationships with people our communication will reduce towards those who don't pay attention when we're talking to them. The good thing about God is that He is never distracted. Know you have His attention when you pray . He can be communicated with. He hears, He created the ears. Psalm 94:9 Jesus encouraged prayer. Matthew 26:40 Jesus taught prayer. Luke 11:1,2 If Jesus prayed, you will need to pray. Why Should You Pray? *Pray because prayer brings God's intervention. Isaiah 38:5,6 *Pray because that's how you are authorized to communicate with God. 1 Thessalonians 15:16-18 *Pray because it is a major way of birthing God's will on earth. 1 Kings 18...

Out Of The Ashes

Isaiah 61:3 Ashes are not seen as useful substances. Ashes are waste that's thrown away. Ashes are what is left after a substance is burnt out. Your life may seem like ashes right now but something good and beautiful can come out of it when it's given to God. You may feel like an ash yourself. You may be feeling burnt out from unpleasant experiences of the past, the previous week, the last Month , or the the last year and life's battles may have left you burnt out. Know that out of your ashes can come beauty! God is the one who gives us beauty for ashes. God can make you and your life beautiful! Don't make the ashes your permanent state. God can make your season of ashes work out into a season of glory for you. Romans 8:28 The phoenix is a mystical and fictional bird that burns out after living for about six centuries.
