Morning Meditation: Courage - Biblical Insight

As the dawn breaks, painting the sky with hues of gold and pink, I am reminded of the courage that our Savior demonstrated—a courage rooted in love that transcends understanding. John 3:16 tells us, “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son.” This love was not merely a feeling; it was an act of unparalleled bravery and purpose.

Imagine standing at the edge of a vast sea, waves crashing against the shore, each one a reminder of our fears and uncertainties. Yet, in our daily lives, we are called to step into those turbulent waters, buoyed by the assurance that God’s love is our life vest. Each time we choose to worship amidst our challenges—lifting our voices in praise, even when doubts swirl around us—we are declaring that we trust in the One who gave everything for us.

Courage isn’t the absence of fear; it’s the decision to act in faith despite it. When we worship, we align ourselves with God’s heart, gaining clarity and purpose for our path. We draw on His strength, as we remember that He has not left us to navigate this life alone. In moments of worship—whether in our homes, at work, or within the community—we are reminded that we are not just recipients of love but agents of that love, empowered to share hope in a world longing for it.

So, as you begin this day, let your heart be filled with awe at the courage of the cross. Let that love propel you into your daily life with a renewed spirit, ready to face whatever the waves may bring.
