What does the Bible say about bravery?
Christians can’t do God’s will without braveness. Sometimes God requires believers to trust Him, separate from the normal, and take risks. Without bravery you’re going to let opportunities pass you by. You’re going to trust in things rather than trusting in God.
“It’s OK I have my savings account I don’t need God.” Stop doubting God! Let go of fear because our Almighty God is in control of all situations.
If it is God’s will for you to do something then do it. If God allowed you to be in a tough situation be strong and trust in Him because He knows what He is doing.
If God tells you to wait patiently, then stand firm. If God told you to evangelize use God’s strength and boldly preach the Word of God.
God is bigger than your situation and He will never leave nor forsake you. Pray for help daily and stop relying on your own strength, but rely on God’s strength.
God is the same God who helped Moses, Joseph, Noah, David, and more. When your trust in God grows and you get to know Him more in is His Word, then your bravery will grow. “God has called me and He will help me!”
