Courage

Being here in Orlando, Florida, USA, right next to Walt Disney World, I've been learning a lot about Walt Disney, the man himself.

Walt Disney once said, "Courage is the main quality of leadership, in my opinion, no matter where it is exercised. Usually it implies some risk - especially in new undertakings."

Walt Disney was right on target.

In Joshua 1:6 (TNIV), after the death of Moses, God told Joshua to "be strong and courageous" as he began to lead the Israelites. In Joshua 1:9 (TNIV), the Lord reiterated to Joshua to "be strong and couageous", and also not to be afraid or discouraged.

In 1 Corinthians 16:13 (TNIV), Paul told the church in Corinth to "be on your guard; stand firm in the faith; be courageous; be strong."

Are you lacking courage these days? Is God nudging your heart to take a bold step out in faith in a certain area, but you're still afraid to do so?

Remember God's words to Joshua, and Paul's words to the church in Corinth ... and even Walt Disney's words about courage, leadership, risk, and new undertakings.

God's got your back. Be bold, be courageous, and step out in faith.
