Courage brother, do not stumble!!!
Proverbs 3-5-6
Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct thy paths
Christian ministry and in fact every aspect of the christian life and christian work requires courage or boldness.
It is easy to give up on our faith because of challenges and obstacles that cause us to stumble or lose our balance.
The bible says in Proverbs 28:1 that
…….but the righteous are as bold a lion
Without courage you cannot present the gospel to certain classes of people. For instance, you are a young man or woman without courage you cannot present the gospel to your grand mom or dad, your teacher or lecturer or your boss at work.
Like the passage above says if you commit everything you do into God’s hands and you do not depend on your own abilities only, God will give you the courage you need.
Philippians 4:6-7
Have no anxiety about anything. But with supplication and thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God which passes all understanding, will keep your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.
This passage from the new testament admonishes us not to be anxious or fearful. But rather pray and turn over our worries to God.
He will give us the peace we need whilst He works on our requests
God be with you
How can I apply the word to my life?
1. Trust in God with all your heart.
Prayer
Meditate on the words of this hymn.
Courage brother do not stumble
Though thy path be dark as night
There is a star to guide the humble
Trust in God and do the right
Simple rule and safest guiding
Inward peace and inward might
Star upon our path abiding
Trust in God and do the right.
Some will hate you
Some will love you
Some will flatter
Some will slight
Cease from man and look above you
Trust in God and do the right.
Amen.
