To fulfill God’s plan for your life, it will take courage. Your next step will require courage. But here’s what’s encouraging, you don’t have to exhibit a lot of courage, just a small amount will do. Imagine what God can do with a small amount of courage!


Main Points:

1. We all admire people with great faith. You know, those who do big things for God. But can I remind you that every great thing done for God began with a small step of faith. God rewards our faith. He loves it when his children step out with small steps of courage and obey Him.

2. I’m struck by the idea of small acts of courage. What could you and I do for God, if we just had the courage? How many times did we miss the will of God, because we were afraid? How many times could God have used our lives, yet we failed to step out due to a lack of courage?

3. While we lament those times when we missed God’s will, we also recognize God is not finished with us. He has not given up on us. He still wants to use our lives for His glory. So, today look around. Listen for the Holy Spirit. Be alert and ready for the moment when you will take a step of faith and courage.


Today’s Scripture Verses:

Joshua 1:9 - “be strong and courageous! Do not be afraid or discouraged. For the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.”

Zechariah 4:10 - “Do not despise these small beginnings, for the Lord rejoices to see the work begin.”
