THE LORD WILL GO BEFORE YOU (4)

Times Of Refreshing Daily Devotional

Date: Saturday, 4 December 2025

Focus: Walking in Courage


Courage is not the absence of fear—it is the decision to trust God in the face of it. When Joshua was tasked with leading the Israelites into the Promised Land, God commanded him to be strong and courageous. This command wasn’t based on Joshua’s abilities but on God’s presence and promises.

The new year may bring challenges, but courage comes when you anchor your heart in God’s faithfulness. His Word assures you that you don’t have to face the future alone. You can walk forward with confidence, knowing that God is with you and that He will equip you for every step of the journey.


Scripture Reading:
Joshua 1:9 – “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.”


Refreshing for the Day:
So, beloved, identify areas in your life where you need courage. Surrender your fears to God and ask Him to strengthen your heart as you step into the opportunities He has for you. Stay Refreshed!


Note This:
Courage comes from trusting in God’s presence and His unfailing promises.


Responsibility:
What bold step of faith can you take today, trusting that God is with you?


Prayer:
O Lord, give me the courage to face the future without fear. Thank You for being my strength and my shield. In Jesus’ name, Amen!


Prophetic Declaration:
I declare that I am strong and courageous because the Lord is with me, and His promises never fail. In Jesus’ name, Amen!


Bible Texts:

Joshua 1:9
