AN ACT OF COURAGE by Gloria Copeland
Did you know that obeying the Word is an act of courage? It really is because when you obey the Word and believe God in a situation, you’re swimming upstream. You’re going against the current of the world.
Whether you’re persevering while waiting for a better job, or working toward getting out of debt, all acts of obedience require courage. It takes courage, stamina, and determination to stay with something, especially when the world has what seems to be an easier, quicker way to get there.
When most of the people and all the circumstances around you are screaming unbelief in your ears, it takes courage to stand on God’s Word and not be moved.
But once you make the decision to stand and be courageous, you’ll be in position and ready to activate God’s three-part formula for success. In Joshua 1:8: (Amp.)
1). “This book of the law shall not depart out of your mouth…
2). “But you shall meditate on it day and night…
3). “That you may observe and do according to all that is written in it; for then you shall make your way prosperous, and then you shall deal wisely and have good success.”
