Courage for the Unknown
Scripture
Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the LORD thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest.
KJV · Public domain in the United States · Text provenance: Project Gutenberg eBook #10
Devotional
New seasons can bring unfamiliar decisions: a move, a health change, a new community, a changed financial plan, or simply the question of how to spend your time. Courage is not pretending those decisions are easy. It is remembering that God's presence travels with you into each one. Notice that the promise is not that every path will feel comfortable. The promise is that the Lord is with you wherever you go. Ask for the courage to gather wise counsel, do what is practical, and take one faithful step. Fear may speak loudly, but it does not have to become your guide.
Reflection
What fear do I need to name before God instead of allowing it to direct me?
Prayer
God, be with me in what I do not yet know. Give me courage that grows from Your presence. Amen.
One Small Step Today
Name the fear beneath your next decision. Gather one needed fact and take one safe, prayerful step rather than solving the whole future.
