Joshua 1:6-7
6 Be strong and courageous, for you shall cause this people to inherit the land that I swore to their fathers to give them. 7 Only be strong and very courageous, being careful to do according to all the law that Moses my servant commanded you. Do not turn from it to the right hand or to the left, that you may have good success wherever you go.
Is Christianity a manly religion? I think it may have entered into some people’s heads to regard the faith as something women teach to children. Some see it as a nursery rhyme to instruct good boys and girls on the benefits of cleanliness or obedience. Such rhymes are helpful, but set down when we get old enough to become our own people.
But of course not. Our faith has conquered nations and the hearts of people small and great. Our faith is one that slays dragons and upends unjust social systems. Your faith will compel you to walk endless distances and climb mountains to the clouds in order to remake the world in the way God wants it. Are you ready to be strong and courageous?
Prayer prompt: Lord, suit me up with courage and strength to work for Your Kingdom today.
