"Be Strong And Courageous"

 “Here is the world. Beautiful and terrible things will happen. Don't be afraid.” Frederick Buechner

“Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go." Joshua 1:9 NIV

Most of the time true courage is not expressed through news worthy actions or extraordinary feats.  Anne Radmacher reminds us that “Courage doesn't always roar. Sometimes courage is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying 'I will try again tomorrow.'  The type of courage that moves the world forward is most often seen in the small, faithful choices we make every day when we fulfil our responsibilities, when we do the right thing, when we care for the needs of those around us, or when we love unconditionally.  We have it in us, and we act on it constantly.  On some days, however, when the rain turns into a downpour and clouds obscure our perspectives, it is helpful to be reminded: 

Don’t be afraid. 

You have it in you and you’re not alone in this journey. Even if this moment’s act of courage is to just put one foot in front of the other, be strong and hopeful. God’s presence can be real and God’s grace is renewed every morning.  For we live one day at a time and we don’t have to tackle all tasks at once. Scary and challenging as today’s troubles may be, the sum of our faithful choices will carry us through to a new and hope-filled day.    

Be strong and courageous.
