Supernatural Courage A 5 Day Devotional by Mickey Robinson Sample
Courage to Persevere
Perseverance takes a different kind of courage. Although we are sustained with power and strength from the eternal loving Father, we live in the earthly realm. Courage for the long haul is needed. Our ability to inherit God’s promises includes circumstances that require us to persevere until those promises are fulfilled. This requires both patience and supernatural courage.
We will be often tempted to quit right before the breakthrough, but God calls us to rely on the Spirit of the Lord and all His promises not to give up or lose our stand on the Rock. God grants us the ability to be patient in these times of waiting, and this patience builds our character. The courage that we receive comes directly from God.
If there is a perceived delay in God’s intervention, we may question where God is or what He is doing—but there are rewards for us when we persevere. The love of God gets manifested in a raw but pure way that becomes treasure we store in our hearts.
Perseverance can lead to something much higher than having our immediate needs met. It can open a huge door for God’s purposes to be revealed in ourselves and others. Our will to persevere and the courage it takes to do so positions us for His best. We must keep our eyes on the Lord and not grow faint or let weariness cause us to despair or give up.
Prayer
Grant me the power to keep standing steadfastly on You. There is no rock, there is no foundation that is stronger than You. By the awesome power of Your love, You have made Yourself known to me, and You will continue to do so because that is who You are. Let my life shine as a constant beacon wherever this path takes me. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
Action Step
Reach out to someone you trust today and pray together, asking God for strength to persevere.
