BEING COURAGEOUS IS A COMMAND! God did not say you won't face daunting situations. What He is saying is 'be courageous, nevertheless!'
Wow!
Everybody wants to be great, but not everybody will. Why? Because "The Lion share will always belong to the Lion heart!"
When Joshua, the general of Isreal's army succeeded Moses, God told him something profound, 'be STRONG and COURAGEOUS!'
Note this; You cannot get to where God wants you to, without facing trouble.
The enemy will CERTAINLY fight you. So, strength and courage are mandatory prerequisite to greatness.
Danger may be real, but being courageous or afraid is a choice. Moses chose courage Inspite of the daunting situations. How then can you build your faith? See (Rom 10:17)!
Whe God calls you for great things, it is never an "all round" comforting call. It will arouse a level of unsettling. Growth is disruptive. Change is inconveniencing. Your courage is what keeps you going during your wilderness moments.
The strategy of the enemy is to steal your courage through fear. The only way to overcome fear is to gaurd your heart through the word of God. Don't let the enemy make your mind a cinema of fearful imaginations.
If the enemy tries to intoxicate your mind with his lies, challenge him with God's truth. What you know is what saves you in times of trouble. Get knowledge!
Friend, Peter's courage had him walk on the sea. But we all know what happened when he lost it! Eyes have not seen, nor ears heard what God will do in your life if you will obey the command to be strong and courageous.
