There are many noble qualities God looks for and develops in His servants, but one of the most important and prized is that of courage.
People who are satisfied with the status quo do not require courage. Those willing to change their world, need it by the bucketful. The first standard by which God selected his choice servants was to choose those with courage. Even if two thirds of the army was sent packing, it was far better to have a small courageous army than a large timid one.
Don’t assume that if you are experiencing fear or discomfort you must not be in God’s will. It is just like God to bring you to the edge of yourself! He will put your life in a situation where you must demonstrate faith, and have courage. In that moment, you will either gather your courage and advance with God, or you will gather your belongings and return home before the battle.
How is your life demonstrating courage today?
