Thought For Today: “A Courageous Heart”

A heart filled with courage possesses the qualities that enable a person to face difficulty, danger, disappointment, despair, death, and whatever else life throws at them.

Courage is putting our faith into action. To have courage is to act in accordance with our beliefs. If we say we believe in something, we should be able to stand for that belief, no matter what comes at us.

So, I think it’s safe to say we all need courage to face the future. We need courage so we’re not debilitated by fear or paralyzed by anxiety, so we don’t cave in and compromise our convictions in difficult circumstances.

The Apostle Paul said that God has not given us a fearful spirit but rather a sound mind, a heart filled with love, and the power to face our fears.

“For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.” (2 Timothy 1:7)
