I AM BRAVE - Joshua 1:9
"This is my command—be strong and courageous! Do not be afraid or discouraged. For the Lord your God is with you wherever you go."
DEVOTIONAL
Bravery isn’t the absence of fear—it’s moving forward despite it. True courage comes from knowing that God is with you, strengthening you, and guiding your every step. The battles you face today may seem overwhelming, but you are not fighting them alone.
When Joshua was stepping into his God-given assignment, he could have let fear stop him. But God reminded him that bravery comes from trusting in His presence, not in personal strength. The same is true for you! You are called to walk boldly into your purpose, not because you have it all figured out, but because God goes before you.
Psalm 27:1 declares, "The Lord is my light and my salvation—whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life—of whom shall I be afraid?" When fear tries to hold you back, remember: God’s power within you is greater than the challenges ahead of you.
2 Timothy 1:7 reminds us, "For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power, love, and self-discipline." You have been equipped with everything you need to walk in bravery. Now, take that next step in faith.
