"Cast your burdens upon the Lord and He will sustain you: He will never allow the righteous to be shaken" -- Psalm 55:22 / New American Standard Bible
Christians have every reason to live courageously. After all, the ultimate battle has already been won on the cross at Calvary. But even dedicated followers of Christ may find their courage tested by the inevitable disappointments and fears that visit the lives of believers and non-believers alike.
When you find yourself worried about the challenges of today or the uncertainties of tomorrow, you must ask yourself whether or not you are ready to place your concerns and your life in God's all-powerful, all-knowing, all-loving hands. If the answer to that question is yes - as it should be - then you can draw courage today from the source of strength that never fails: your Heavenly Father.

"Seeing that a Pilot steers the ship in which we sail, who will never allow us to perish even in the midst of shipwrecks, there is no reason why our minds should be overwhelmed with fear and overcome with weariness" -- John Calvin

Lord, sometimes, this world can be a fearful place, but You have promised us that You are with us always. Today, Lord, we will live courageously as we place our trust in Your everlasting power and our faith in Your everlasting love.
