Scripture

Joshua 1:9 “Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of a good courage! Do not be afraid or dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.”

Reflection

What happened to Charlie Kirk reminds me that faith without courage will become silent under pressure. But God clearly commands in Joshua 1:9: "Be strong and of a good courage; do not be afraid." Charlie's courage to persevere in his beliefs, even at great cost, inspires me to never waver in the truth. Courage doesn't come from within; it comes from God's presence. May I learn to be brave, persevere in my faith, and become a light in the darkness.
