I have an opportunity this year to put courage to the test. It’s going to be hard, it’s going to be daunting, it’s going to be beautifully messy. I haven't really even stepped into it yet- but I know it’s coming and I will have to figure it out. I don’t know much at this point- I just know Who God is. And that I can trust. So for me- chasing courage will look like this:
Everyday- I’ll need to ask- Who is God?
Who is God? My Provider
Who is God? My salvation
Who is God? My peace
Who is God? My time giver
Who is God? My Joy
Who is God? My friend
Who is God? My restorer
Who is God? My conviction
Who is God? My closest companion
And after reminding myself of these Truths- I think I can move toward to trusting the process. He made me, formed me, molding my life one experience and year at a time. I want don’t want to miss what he has for me even in what might be the most trying thing I’ve been through. I know Him. I love Him. He loves me. There is so much that fails, but I know can trust that.
Ephesians 3: 20-21 MSG "God can do anything, you know—far more than you could ever imagine or guess or request in your wildest dreams! He does it not by pushing us around but by working within us, his Spirit deeply and gently within us. Glory to God in the church! Amen
