Day 1: The Courage to Make it Happen

Welcome to the Courageous Faith YouVersion! Thank you so much for choosing to take this journey with me. I hope that through this 7-day plan, you will be empowered to live with the courageous faith that God has provided for His children.

On Day 1 of this plan, we discuss where we can get courage to make it happen!

Take time to read Joshua 1:1-5. This passage is following the death of Moses, and speaks of his replacement: Joshua.

But, in order for Joshua to embrace his God-given assignment, he had to let go of some things; and so do we. So many people live in the past— not enjoying the present—and consider the future with trepidation, if not outright fear. This causes them to neglect planning for the future.

What keeps you from embracing the future God has for you? Is it fear? Guilt? Uncertainty? In 2 Corinthians 5:17, it states that if we are in Christ, we are a new creature! Shouldn’t this mean we should look at things in a different light as well?

We do not have to let our past limit our future. We do not have to live in shame, guilt, and remorse. 1 John 1:9 states that when we come to God with our sins, He is faithful to forgive. Take your shortcomings to God and strive to follow His guidance and His guidance alone.

When you are following the omniscient, omnipresent, omnipotent Lord of the universe, it should inevitably instill some courage in you—the courage to make it happen!
