Courage

Num.13:17-20, Josh. 1:1-7

Moses was directing the children of < ?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>Israel to go and spy the promise land. In his direction, he advised in Numbers13:20 ÒWhether the land is rich or poor; whether there are forests there or not, be of good courage. And bring some of the fruit of the land. Now the time was the season of the first ripe grapes.Ó Courage is what will allow you to see and receive what God has packaged for your life. Also, it is courage that will allow you to hear and have what God promised. Courage is the vehicle that will bring forth result in every pursuit in your lifetime. Moses knew that without courage, the children of Israel will not be able to see and get to where God was taking them. Courage is when you are seeing positive in the face of negative. As a child of God, Moses knew that God will not promise good for bad or bad for good. Based on MosesÕ understanding, he wanted the children of Israel to go and see with a positive mind set. As a child of God, it is important to always see good in the journeys of life where others are seeing nothing but bad; to be able to see positive where they see negative. How do you see GodÕs promise manifest in your life?  Based on Moses understanding and knowledge of God, he was able to face danger with bravery. After the death of Moses, God commissioned Joshua in Josh.1:7, ÒOnly be strong and very courageous, that you may observe to do according to all the law which Moses My servant commanded you; do not turn from it to the right hand or to the left, that you may prosper wherever you go.Ó God repeatedly advised Joshua to be courageous twice in the same chapter. Can you get it? Courage is what is being talked about right now. Ask God to impact you with the spirit of courage.
