TIMES OF REFRESHING ONLINE DAILY DEVOTIONAL www.thefountspring.org
DATE: FRIDAY, 13 OCTOBER 2023
In our journey through life, fear is an emotion that often finds its way into our hearts. It can be a formidable adversary, capable of paralyzing us and preventing us from pursuing our dreams, taking risks, or even stepping out of our comfort zones. However, beloved, as we turn to our faith, we discover that courage is not the absence of fear but the determination to move forward in the face of it. So, in this devotional series we will explore the theme of courage in the face of fear and how faith can empower us to overcome our anxieties.
Bottom of FormSCRIPTURE: “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 (NIV)
REFRESHING FOR THE DAY: In the above anchor Scripture, we are commanded to be strong and courageous. The presence of fear is not a sign of weakness, but rather an opportunity for us to exercise our faith and rely on God’s strength. When we embrace this courage, we position ourselves to overcome adversity and uncertainty. Stay Refreshed!
NOTE THIS: Courage is not the absence of fear but the determination to move forward in the face of it.
RESPONSIBILITY: So, as we learn to face our fears with faith, let us ask God for the grace and strength to overcome them and continue our journey through life with confidence and hope.
PRAYER: O GOD, give us the grace to face our fears courageously and fill us with Your power to overcome them, in the name of Jesus’ Amen!
PROPHETIC WORD: As we face our fears with faith, may the Lord help us to overcome them all, in the name of Jesus’ Amen!
BIBLE TEXTS: Joshua 1:9
