I AM COURAGEOUS.
I think the word courageous in a faith sense is beautiful and powerful. It’s having the courage to stand up for the gospel, speaking truth in love, and having a firm foundation in your faith to do what the Lord calls you to do. I’ve taken the word, “courageous,” with me to Thailand. The Lord has given me a heart for missions, He has called me to go to the nations and to love on His people and to speak His truth. I’m currently living and serving in Thailand.
It’s been a little over a month and there has been a lot of spiritual warfare happening in the places my squad is working and doing ministry. We have gone through sickness and doubt and worry and in the end, it’s all about what we’re called here to do. We are called by God to love on Thailand and all the baggage it brings. We are standing firm on the Rock and we will not be shaken. We will not let anything separate us from the power of the Lord. We are His people. We have work to do here and we don’t have time to dwell on what lies satan is trying to tell us. We are courageous. We are taking our fears and doubts and worries to Jesus and we are standing firm in the gospel and speaking truth in love. I am courageous. Despite any spiritual battle I face, I am courageous. I will stand firm in the gospel and in what God has called me here to do. I will not waiver, I will not grow weak or weary.
I AM COURAGEOUS.
