COURAGE IN THE FACE OF FEAR (11)
TIMES OF REFRESHING ONLINE DAILY DEVOTIONAL www.thefountspring.org
DATE: MONDAY, 23 OCTOBER 2023
Successively, beloved, another bold and daring individual in the Bible who exhibited great courage and conquered his fear is Peter. In the New Testament, Peter is often associated with his boldness and courage. Despite denying Jesus three times during His trial, Peter later exhibited great courage and faith, becoming a key figure in the early Christian Church. He preached the Gospel fearlessly and endured persecution for his beliefs.
Bottom of FormSCRIPTURE: “But Peter, standing with the eleven, lifted up his voice and addressed them: ‘Men of Judea and all who dwell in Jerusalem, let this be known to you, and give ear to my words.'” — Acts 2:14 (NIV)
REFRESHING FOR THE DAY: Peter’s life is a testament to the transformative power of Jesus’ grace and his role in building the early Christian church. His moments of weakness and doubt, as well as his restoration and unwavering commitment to Jesus, make him a relatable and inspirational figure in Christian history. Stay Refreshed!
NOTE THIS: Peter made a profound confession of faith in Jesus as the Christ, the Son of the living God, in response to a question from Jesus (Matt 16:16).
RESPONSIBILITY: So, beloved, just like Peter, let us ask God for the grace to be courageous and obedient even in the face of fears.
PRAYER: O GOD, give us the grace to be bold and courageous, just like Peter, to face and overcome every difficulty in our lives, in the name of Jesus’ Amen!
PROPHETIC WORD: As the Lord is helping us, may we be bold and courageous in the face of challenges, in the name of Jesus’ Amen!
BIBLE TEXTS: Acts 2:14, Matthew 16:16
