Courageous Humility Pt. 1Sample

Courageous Humility Pt. 1

DAY 9 OF 30

These are heavy and possibly convicting words to read. We may instantly recall times when we KNOW the Lord lifted us out of the mire and not far after found ourselves already withholding praises, trading them for complaints. Right now, we may feel as though the place we were before God lifted us out, seems a lot more comfortable than where we find ourselves right now, maybe even pining for that place of painful comfort. We may quickly go to places in our thoughts where we know that we have not been following Jesus wherever He leads, free willingly – and it may very well make us feel guilty or even tempt us to turn away from God in shame, convincing ourselves if we do not face Him in prayer, worship, praise or reading His Word we will no longer “feel bad” for not being where we sense God is calling us to be. In His love for us, He is bringing those thoughts to remembrance to deliver us from a place of paralysis and correct us {see Hebrews 12}. Take a moment to jot those thoughts down in your journal.

Prayer: Lord, today might feel heavy. But we know You are bigger than our feelings, Your yoke is easy, and Your burden light. Because You love us, You may be providing correction in today’s devotion. God, I pray as Your children, we will courageously allow Your word to search us, and bring anything to light that has been prohibiting us from living more courageously in and for Christ! Your Word says to ask for anything in Your Name and according to Your will, and You will do it. We believe it is Your will for us to free willingly follow after You Jesus, as Your Holy Spirit leads. Help us remove the obstacles that may be keeping us from doing so. We pray these things in Jesus Christ’s Name, amen.

About this Plan

Courageous Humility Pt. 1

Be strong. Be Alert. Be Courageous. These words are the premise of this 30 day study where you will uncover God's desire for you to call out to Him and trust He will hear. Not only hear, but set you on sure footing, a path He sets before you, for your sake and the sake of those around you. From there you will dig into Scripture around what it means to courageously step into God's presence, how to do so, and what you can expect as a result of going into His presence. Finally, you will be encouraged to step towards the healing Christ offers, both individually, and as the collective Bride of Christ. Each day you will be encouraged to ask questions, seek answers in God and His Word, and identify the step YOU sense the Holy Spirit compelling you to take. Courage accompanies ACTION, and Christ reveals to us where to move next, while the Holy Spirit empowers us to do so!
