Life is full of moments that require courage, when Joshua stepped into leadership after Moses, he was faced with uncertainty. This required him to have courage to begin as the new leader. Every new season of our lives we are invited to move forward even in the midst of uncertainty. Bold beginnings are rarely comfortable; courage is not the absence of fear but rather the courage to take the next step. Before crossing the Jordan River, the priests had to step into the water while carrying the Ark, trusting that God would make a way. In the same way, the start of something meaningful — whether a new goal, ministry, conversation, or habit — often begins with a single brave step. God never promised the path would be easy, but He promised His presence wherever we go. As this new week and season begin, consider where you have been hesitant to start, and choose one small, courageous step forward.
