It takes courage to live out your faith boldly, especially in the face
of hostility or suffering. And that courage may come from a surprising
source. What gave Joshua and Caleb the courage to follow God's commands
despite fear? What gave Deborah the courage to lead the Israelites into
righteous living? What gave the disciples the courage to live out their
faith, even to death? The fear of the Lord.
All through the Bible, and in our lives today, the fear of the Lord
gives believers the audacity to live out God's truth with uncompromising
faith. In Everyday Courage, beloved Bible teacher, speaker, and
bestselling author John Bevere reminds us through Scripture, devotions,
and examples from the fathers and mothers of the faith that we too can
live with courage because the fear of the Lord swallows up every other
fear in our lives.
