The Role of Obedience in Courage

Scripture:
Joshua 6:2-5

"Then the Lord said to Joshua, 'See, I have delivered Jericho into your hands, along with its king and its fighting men. March around the city once with all the armed men. Do this for six days. Have seven priests carry trumpets of rams’ horns in front of the ark. On the seventh day, march around the city seven times, with the priests blowing the trumpets.'"

Reflection:

God’s instructions to Joshua were specific and required obedience. The Israelites’ courage was demonstrated through their obedience to God’s unconventional plan. Obedience to God often requires us to step out in faith, trusting His wisdom over our understanding. Reflect on how obedience to God’s Word can be an act of courage in your life, leading to His blessings and victories.

Prayer:

Lord, help me to trust and obey Your instructions, even when they don’t make sense to me. Give me the courage to follow Your lead, knowing that Your ways are higher than mine. Strengthen my resolve to walk in obedience, trusting that You are working all things for my good. In Jesus name, Amen.

Action:

Identify an area in your life where God is calling you to obedience. Take a step of faith today by aligning your actions with His Word, trusting that He will lead you to victory.
