Courage is one of those traits that is often hidden until a crisis, event or circumstance forces individuals to act. If you’re caught off guard, you may freeze like a deer stunned by the headlights of a moving vehicle. If you do flunk a test of faith, it’s not the end of the world. This is where King David calls believers in the Lord to take courage internally so that you can recover spiritually.
Wait and hope for and expect the Lord; be brave and of good courage and let your heart be stout and enduring. Yes, wait for and hope for and expect the Lord, Psalm 27:14.
Kristene DiMarco offers up a similar call in her song Take Courage. The apostle Paul warns Christians to arm yourself with spiritual weapons to take your stand against the Devil, Ephesians 6:10-20. The lyrics of Take Courage point to what is possible when Christians begin to fix their eyes on Jesus. Whatever you may be currently facing, miracles happen when you fix your eyes on Jesus.
