Claiming Courage

Claiming Courage

You will teach me how to live a holy life.

Psalm 16:11

Are you a brief journey away from painful encounters? Are you only steps away from the walls of your own heartache?

Learn a lesson from your master. Don’t march into battle with the enemy without first claiming the courage from God’s promises. May I give you a few examples?

When you are confused: “‘I know what I am planning for you,’ says the Lord. ‘I have good plans for you, not plans to hurt you’” (Jer. 29:11 NCV).

If you feel weighted by yesterday’s failures: “So now, those who are in Christ Jesus are not judged guilty” (Rom. 8:1 NCV).

On those nights when you wonder where God is: “I am the Holy One, and I am among you” (Hos. 11:9 NCV).

And the Angels Were Silent
