INTRODUCTION
From birth, we log hours and hours of memories due to one emotion… fear. We even have an entire holiday devoted to fear and the more macabre elements of our culture. We gravitate toward that spark of emotion. But God calls us to more, to better, to higher than a simple emotion.

HAVE A VOLUNTEER READ JOSHUA 1:6-9
Fear is natural. Bravery takes strength and training. We are called to the more difficult path. Courage is the bar set for us. It’s not easy, but it is necessary in order to take hold of the life God has for us.
HAVE A VOLUNTEER READ 2 TIMOTHY 1:6-7
Walking in step with the Spirit of God is a very difficult thing. We desire the more tangible things of life that we can easily grasp in our hands, but God desires to lead us with gentle guidance that stems from intimacy with Him. The result of this intimacy is more than worth the occasional discomfort that comes from the less tangible and sometimes abstract ways of God.
APPLICATION
PRAYER
Pray that God will lead you this week toward the courage, power, love and self-discipline that only He can provide.
