Courage is a vitally necessary quality if we intend to do anything worthwhile with our time here on earth. Leaders are not always, or even usually, the most gifted people, but they are people with courage. They step out when others shrink back in fear. They take bold steps of faith, they do things that to others people might even seem foolish or unwise, but they are willing to take a chance. They may be wrong occasionally, but they are right enough of the same that it doesn't matter.

I would rather try to do a lot and accomplish a little than to try and info nothing and accomplish all of it. If I try nothing, I will accomplish nothing. The worst thing that can happen is I will be wrong, and that really is not the end of the world. After all, nobody is perfect or right all the time. I would rather take a chance on being wrong and trying to accomplish something than definitely be wrong because I have done nothing.

God expects us to increase, to be fruitful and to multiply. He admires courage; in fact, He demands it from those who will work alongside of Him. The Lord told Joshua that he was to take Moses place and lead the Israelites into the promised land. There was one stipulation: He had to be strong and of a good courage.

>>Be strong and of good courage, for you shall cause this people to inherit the land which I swore to their fathers to give them. Only you be strong and very courageous, that you may do according to the law of Moses my servant commanded you. Turn not my prosper wherever you go..... Have not I commanded you? Be strong, vigorous and very courageous. Be not afraid, neither be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go. (Joshua 1:6-7,9).

It doesn't matter what qualifies or provision we do not have, as long as God is with us. He is all we need. He makes up for anything we are lacking. God told Joshua 
>>As I was with Moses, so I will be with you (Joshua 1:5)

Moses was great because God was with him and he took courageous steps to do what God told him to do.
The same thing would hold true for Joshua and be true for any one of us who follows God's way in these areas. His way is not one of shrinking back in fear, but of going forward courageously in faith.

God's way is one of being decisive. We are not to make decisions so quickly that we don't give them proper thought and prayer. We should seek wisdom and be sure we are following peace. But once we have done well we can do to assure we are making a right decision, as far as we knew, there is nothing else to do except to be courageous and do something, lest we do nothing.

# GOD BLESS YOU
