The Formation of A Fighter, Father and Friend : One who is faithful, fearless and fruitful before the Lord and His people
"Have I not commanded you? 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
Joshua... and a little insight on courage found in chapter 1.
It takes courage to lead others for Jesus.
It takes courage to fight a superior enemy...to take what is rightfully ours, seeing we now belong to Christ.
It takes courage to unveil and share the inheritance that belongs to God's people.
It takes courage to trust and obey God's word in a world that His word is uncommon and most often unwanted.
And it takes a word/command from the Lord to have the courage needed to do His work.
And without a command/authority from God there will be no courage to do His work.
